I created a submit button with a mailto: target to attach a PDF form to an email message.
Some computers work as expected, the mailto: pops up the default mail client and the PDF file is attached.
Others ask which mail client, but then attach the file to the message.
Some pop-up a message asking for the senders email and name and then attach the file.
But some pop-up a message asking for the senders email and name and then... nothing. No pop-up, no message, no error no crash. Just nothing.
The problem seems to be related to the particular client machine. I have XP on a desktop, Win7 64 on a desktop, and Win7 64 on a laptop. The two desktops work fine but on the laptop, the button does nothing.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

An API is used to make a call to the mail clients to automate this. I have seen virus software disable these calls as they interpret this behaviour as viral.
