recurring error...

So it's not opening a blank page as well as your email client?

No, works fine. Just as expected.
But don't set the mailto link to open in a new page, this is not necessary.

Works fine here

Thanks all for checking this out. It is appreciated.

one final question... what browsers have you been using? I've just tried it on Firefox [which crashes at every other opportunity] and it appears to work fine but on Chrome [which is stable] it doesn't work for me at all... just a quandry to wonder if the issue I'm seeing is browser specific or just related to my specific pc

I use Firefox - no issues.
