In the first example, you have the quotation encapsulating the entire str(txtemail.text) part.
In the second example, you have a space after the “mailto:”. Don’t do that… use this:
That should open the default mail client
If that doesn’t you have other issues that are NOT related to ShowUrl - no default handler for the URI scheme exists

Looks like other issues norman, where would I start.
Since Windows 8 comes with no mail client installed, Outlook should have set the default app upon its installation.
I just verified with my Windows 8.1 and indeed, nothing happens as well, since I never installed any email client.
If your app is to be sold, you may want to add to it a mail sending option with SMTPSocket, to make sure what happened to you does not happen to your customers. And as default send mail from your app, with an option to use the installed mail client. Could save you a lot of support requests and angry customers…
