It happens I had to do this Saturday morning in a stylesheet ... it is the 
same as with any external link, but use the mailto protocol:

       ...
       <block>Please contact us at</block>
       <block>
         <basic-link
           external-destination='url("mailto:info@CraneSoftwrights.com")'>
           info@CraneSoftwrights.com
         </basic-link>
       </block>
       <block>for instructions on</block>
       ...

A single click on my Windows system first brings up a browser window and 
the browser sees the "mailto" and brings up the mail application.

I hope this helps.
