USe email within SIlverlight OOB app

Im trying to open the default email client on a users system from a SL OOB application.

I have tried this:

<HyperlinkButton NavigateUri="mailto:email@address.com" Content="HyperlinkButton" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="72,114,0,0" Name="HyperlinkButton2" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" />

Which from my web readings should work but for me it throws a page not found error.

Does anyone have any idea why this might not be working for me.

Thanks

for in browser application:
Add the below line to your .xaml.cs file to open mailto (email link) when an event gets fired (i.e. HyperlinkButton is clicked or etc):
HtmlPage.Window.Navigate(new Uri("mailto:test@test.com"));

@ dj_alik: your method threw an exception "The DOM/scripting bridge is disabled"

@CodeCrusier: your method worked like a charm.

Thanks for your help guys. I can't believe it was something so simple that I was unable to find anywhere else.

Thanks EE :-)
