href mailto: link and outlook style

[SolidSolutions]

I've got a simple link that opens a mail message:

<a href="mailto:[e-mail]"

If I select a new mail message in Outlook, it opens and works fine, using the "Normal" format style for the body text.

But, with the mailto: link, it opens a new message using "Paragraph" format style for the body text.

Any ideas how to get Outlook to use "normal" instead of "paragraph" from a mailto: href link?

Make sure to close the tag. The one you posted above isn't closed.

Also, consider span tags inside the tags because some clients otherwise default to their skin colors. For instance, gMail (I think) causes all links to stay blue even if you inline-style a different color UNLESS a span is inside the a tag.
