Within a game I have found it relatively easy to create a hyperlink that will open the users browser and navigate to a site.
For example: {a=https://www.renpy.org} click here{/a}
I have spent all afternoon trying to find a way to have ren'py open the users native email client to send feedback directly to a game collaborator should they choose to do so. I have found information about using servers for game feedback and other information. That seems like unnecessary steps for a simple feedback message.
Is there a way to do this from within ren'py or do we just continue with "Feel free to email blahblah@blahblahblah.com"?

This is purely a guess as the documentation doesn't mention it, but have you tried just using a mailto link?
{a = "mailto:
unsureifthis@works.com"}click here{/a}

Worked like a charm! Since I'm using gmail as my primary all I should have to do is configure my system email settings!
Thanks a bunch!
