In CS4 (we love CS4) it's even easier. In the Hyperlink panel there is an option to Link to Email in the pulldown menu. What's even beter is that you can add a character Style.
And because it is fun Friday and almost Easter, check out this site. It takes a while to start, but is well worth it. Once it starts move your mouse. Super cool. Here's the link.

thank you, this has been bugging me for the past hour!
This doesn't work. It simply opens a blank page in a web browser and eventually gives an error message that the file is not found. Shouldn't it open a blank email in whatever email client the user has as their default?
