If the web page has something like:
<form action="mailto:abc at example.com">...</form>

You can send an email from that web page.


Quoted from http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/forms/form.html:

"A mailto URI (e.g., mailto:liam at htmlhelp.com) is also allowed as an 
ACTION, but this is not supported by all browsers. Non-supporting 
browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.x typically will open a 
blank e-mail message when the user submits a mailto form. Even on 
supporting browsers, mailto forms are troublesome in that they fail to 
provide feedback to the user after the form submission."
