I have an email link in a PDF document. When the link is clicked, the following happens

1) Internet Explorer opens
2) A new email is created by my default email client (Microsoft Outlook) and IE moves to the background
3) Internet Explorer displays "Action cancelled"
4) The email still works and is sent/received successfully

Some users find "Action cancelled" confusing and then wonder if the email still works, which it does.

Can I stop IE from opening? Thanks.
