To resolve this issue, make sure you've set a default mail client in your browser's settings.
Important:
This issue is localized to your computer and should not affect your visitors unless they have also not set up a default mail client. If you haven't set up a mail client on your device, you will experience this issue when clicking "mailto:" links on any websites (not just Wix sites). 

To avoid this issue, we recommend displaying your email address on your site and using a contact form
