Mailto Link in Error Message

Question

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in a user presses a button and based on certain conditions I throw an error on page. The error should contain a system administrator link that the user can email to by clicking on the Name provided in the error message.
Is this possible ? How do I get the error message token to be a 'mailto' ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
You can create linkbean type of field on the page and display the text which you want like "click here" set a PPR on this link bean , when user click on the 'click here' link you get the PPR event in processFormRequest method of controller and send the email to that person. For email utility you have use the java code.
// File Name SendEmail.java
import java.util.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.activation.*;
public class SendEmail
public static void main(String [] args)
// Recipient's email ID needs to be mentioned.
String to = "[email protected]";
// Sender's email ID needs to be mentioned
String from = "[email protected]";
// Assuming you are sending email from localhost
String host = "localhost";
// Get system properties
Properties properties = System.getProperties();
// Setup mail server
properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host);
// Get the default Session object.
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);
try{
// Create a default MimeMessage object.
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
// Set From: header field of the header.
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
// Set To: header field of the header.
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress(to));
// Set Subject: header field
message.setSubject("This is the Subject Line!");
// Now set the actual message
message.setText("This is actual message");
// Send message
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Sent message successfully....");
}catch (MessagingException mex) {
mex.printStackTrace();
