Please find the code in jsFiddle  It uses jQuery to modify the href of the link  You can use any other library in its place  It should work  HTML  lt a id  quot emailLnk quot  href  quot   quot  gt       lt img src  quot http   ssl gstatic com gb images j e6a6aca6 png quot  gt   lt  a gt   JS   document  ready function            quot  emailLnk quot   attr  href   quot mailto xyz something com quot          UPDATE Another code sample  if the id is known only during the click event   document  ready function            quot  emailLnk quot   click function                   window location href    quot mailto xyz something com quot

With JavaScript you can create a link  on the fly  using something like    var mail   document createElement  a    mail href    mailto mail example org   mail click      This is redirected by the browser to some mail client installed on the machine without losing the content of the current window     and you would not need any API like  jQuery

I ve simply used this javascript code  using jquery but it s not strictly necessary               button    on   click   function event               this  attr  href    mailto me domain com subject hello              When users click on the link  we replace the href attribute of the clicked element    Be careful don t prevent the default comportment  event preventDefault   we must let do it because we have just replaced the href where to go  I think robots can t see it  the address is protected from spams

No need for jQuery  And it isn t necessary to open a new window  Protocols which doesn t return HTTP data to the browser  mailto   irc     magnet   ftp      lt - it depends how it is implemented  normally the browser has an FTP client built in   can be queried in the same window without losing the current content  In your case   function redirect         window location href    mailto mail example org      lt body onload  javascript  redirect     gt    Or just directly   lt body onload  javascript  window location href  mailto mail example org    gt
