Hyperlink.Click not being executed

I'm writing a Windows Phone Mango app. I have a hyperlink that contains email addresses. I want it to show a message box on tap:

Hyperlink href = new Hyperlink();
href.Click += (s, r) =>
{
    MessageBox.Show("href clicked");
};
// add href to RichTextBox

When I click on the hyperlink in the emulator, nothing happens. The click += line is hit in a debugger, but the new EmailComposeTask() line isn't.

What am I doing wrong? Is Click not the event I want?

Update: I switched EmailComposeTask to MessageBox to verify that this issue isn't related to the email compose task not running on the emulator. I've reproduced this issue on my device.

The following code works:

            GestureService.GetGestureListener(href); // adding this makes it work
            href.Click += (s, r) =>
            {
                 MessageBox.Show("href clicked");
                 new EmailComposeTask() { To = entireLink.Value }.Show();

            };
            href.Inlines.Add(new Run() { Text = entireLink.Value });

GetGestureListener creates a gesture listener if it doesn't already exist.

Following code is runs on device. text is RichTextBox object. 

var linkText = new Run() { Text = "Link text" };
var link = new Hyperlink();
link.Inlines.Add(linkText);
link.Click += (o, e) =>
{
    MessageBox.Show("Link clicked");
};

var paragraph = new Paragraph();
paragraph.Inlines.Add(link);

text.Blocks.Add(paragraph);

You should use HyperlinkButton Class, Hyperlink is a class used with rich text document rendering.
