Your best bet is to change that system and use something like php's mail() function. Its hidden and does not display the warning message that its sending via email client and also doesnt depend on the client actually having an email client as a lot of people use webmail.

That is probably a security setting with IE that's causing that window, and no, you can't do anything about it.

Best get yourself a decent form emailer.
