Try this:

function outputSelected(f) {
  var inputs = f.getElementsByTagName('input');
  var sel = [];
  for (var i=0; i<inputs.length; i++) {
    if(inputs[i].name !== 'mail') { continue; }
	if (inputs[i].checked) { sel.push(inputs[i].value); }
  }
  emailStr = sel.join(";");
  subject = "TEST";
  body_message = "This is a test message";
  var mailto_link = 'mailto:' + sel.join(";") + '?subject=' + subject + '&body=' + body_message;
  win = window.open(mailto_link,'emailWindow');
  if (win && win.open &&!win.closed) win.close();
}

Call with:

<input type="button" value="send" onclick="outputSelected(this.form);" >

I'm not sure how reliable this is cross-broswer and cross-computer, but it works on this hack machine (Win2000) in IE6, FF 3.6.13, Opera 10.63. Email client was my system default, OE, in all cases (Opera asked, FF and IE just did it).
