HTML HTML Basics Going Further with HTML Link to Email

I followed Guil's rule about mailto link, but it is not working

When I went to the index.html page and tried to click on my email link that I just created, although it is highlighted and clickable, it does not give me that mailto: box pop-up. Am I missing something in my code.

This is what I wrote <p><strong>Email</strong> <a href="mailto:webpad@gmail.com">webpad@gmail.com</a></p>

Hey, it's working fine on my side.

Mailto link open your machine default mail software, maybe your local machine didn't have any mail software or you haven't set your default mail software yet?

Oh thank you, I think that's what it is.
