You're missing the point completely.

The action triggered by clicking a mailto link inside a web browser is
totally reliant upon configuration settings on the client's computer that
the web page provider has no control over whatsoever.

You have no way of telling if the mailto link is going to work or not. If
you want to be friendly to [potential] customers (I assume that you're
developing a site for some sort of customer interaction), the best
solution is to provide as many alternative means of contact as possible -
be inclusive. So: mailto link, contact form, fax, telephone, post,
twitter, facebook, sms ... consider them all as potential means for a
customer to communicate, and provide relevant information for those that
are determined to be valid.
