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.
................. Ken
