There is a mailto: protocol that is used and windows has to have it set all special like. The default mail client is not good enough. There are however also settings in the browser that need to be set up for links on web sites. The mailto setup for windows is only for mailto links from desktop apps.

A google search turned up these instructions which appear fairly comprehensive. https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-change-the-default-email-program-for-mailto-links
