Safari not connecting to Mail

Tried to email a web page link from Safari (Lion) and I get message :
"An email message can't be created to send the link because Safari can't find an email application.
"You can use the Mail application included with Mac OS X to send email. To do so, you might need to install Mail using the mac OS X Install discs."
First of all, the whole system Im on is less than a month old and secondly I have no install discs. Any ideas for a solution? Thanks.

Which mail application are you currently using? Is Mail 5.2 the default mail application or are you using another?

Mail 5.2, Safari 5.1.4, Mac OS 10.7.3
Checked Mail pref to see that it was selected at default

Even though Mail preferences indicated it was the default app, I still could not access it via safari, until I RE-SELECTED the mail.app. All problems solved then.

Yeah, that will occasionally happen if Safari has been recently updated. Glad you got it sorted out.
