As I said in the question, in this Excel spreadsheet I have entered a number of email addresses. When I'm in the spreadsheet and click on the hyperlink created for the email it automatically sends me to Google Chrome search window, (not to the person listed in the email link). How do I fix this so it automatically takes me to Mozilla Thunderbird so I can create and send the email? When I created a similar link using Outlook it always took me to my Outlook account so I could send the email. There has to be a way to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Are you including mailto: in your links?

No I did not add that to my links in my spreadsheet. Is that what I should do? I'm not sure I ever did that using Outlook and it always worked for me. Thank you, looking forward to your answer.

Excel and Outlook are, as I'm sure you're aware, close relatives. I would imagine that a preference for Outlook is wired into Excel and other members of the Office suite.

mailto: is an internet standard. Maybe you didn't need it with Office family members, but outside of that environment you may need to be more specific to get standards-compliant products to work together.

I use a mailto: link on my website and it works beautifully. I've just copied the link I use there into an email as a bare link, as a hyperlink type link and as the linked URL attached to an image. All three work very nicely.

Regardless of all that, any working email link is going to launch your default email client. If let loose, google will ensure that chrome is your default email client, particularly if you have a gmail account set up. This may be what you need to address. Ordinarily, we wouldn't see a web browser as an email client, but google provide notifiers that allow it to be used so.

My link looks like this: mailto:xenos@example.com?subject=How%20email%20works …and this wikipædia site gives some ideas on what you can pre-load into a mailto: link.
