event fired when email address clicked

What is responsible for opening an email client or a new mail form when a
user clicks on an email address (say in a webpage). Is there a way to get
the email address that is clicked even before a new mail form is opened. How
to override the defaul email client to implement open custom email form.

You will need to provider your own mailto URL handler.
See the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto registry hive.
