mailto not working with button

I contacted Microsoft for help as I am trying to getting a button to essentially allow user to click the button for them to be presented with outlook. I have tried everything to add mailto: or even MailTo: or Mailto:. Very frustrating because there is no other solution. I don't want to add it as text to the site. Could anyone advise any other option for this button to work to email the certain assigned email.

    Imanh08 you can do this with an image web part.  Add your image and in the Link field type mailto:address. It will add an https:// before it as you type:

     

    Once you've entered the whole address just delete that https:// and click the Republish button. When you click the image Outlook will open.
