I am using Qt4.1. The problem has been solved already. The following is part 
of code:

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui

class AuthorsTab(QtGui.QWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, parent)        
        fileNameLabel = QtGui.QTextBrowser()
        fileNameLabel.setHtml(self.tr('<br>Hok Kakada (<a 		z	
href="mailto:hokkakada at khmeros.info">hokkakada at khmeros.info</a>)<br><br>Keo 
Sophon (<a 
href="mailto:keosophon at khmeros.info">keosophon at khmeros.info</a>)<br><br>San 
Titvirak (<a 
href="mailto:titvirak at khmeros.info">titvirak at khmeros.info</a>)<br><br>Seth 
Chanratha(<a 
href="mailto:sethchanratha at khmeros.info">sethchanratha at khmeros.info</a>)'))                    
	
	self.connect(fileNameLabel, QtCore.SIGNAL("anchorClicked(const 
QUrl&)"),self.handleLinkClicked)
        mainLayout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
        mainLayout.addWidget(self.fileNameLabel)
        self.setLayout(mainLayout)

	def handleLinkClicked(self, url):
        '''slot to handle when anchorClicked (an email address), and open a 
webbrowser and a mail client'''
        self.sender().setSource(QtCore.QUrl())
        try:
            import webbrowser
            webbrowser.open(unicode(url.toString()))
            return
        except:
            pass

Thanks.
