Editing e-mail address brings up Outlook in Excel cell

WindowsXP
Excel 2003

A user received an Excel spreadsheet of name and e-mail addresses. When I
clicked in the cell that contained the e-mail address it launched a new mail
message in Outlook with the e-mail address in the "To:" field.

Is there any way to turn this off..I tried to make the cells all text but
this did not help.

Thank you.

You have to remove the underlying hyperlinks.

This will only work one cell at a time, I think, but you can right-click the
address, Highlight Hyperlink, then select Remove Hyperlink.
