using GroupWise 6.02

The following mailto tag works correctly when the default e-mail program is set to Outlook Express but becomes a mailto link (clicking on the link opens a new mail message addressed to the url instead of opening a browser with the url) when my default e-mail program is set to GroupWise.

The corporate program is GroupWise so I have to use it. Anyone have any experience with GW that could help out here?


Thanks in advance. The following code is created dynamically with asp (formatted for legibility)

Code:
   <SCRIPT>
document.write('<A ID="mail_link" HREF="mailto:
<%= REQUEST("mail_to_tag") %>
&body=' + escape(document.location.href) + '">
Send report to&nbsp;<%= REQUEST("email_to") %></A>')
   </SCRIPT>
which evaluates to ...
Code:
mailto:kcwms@nowway.com
