It’s extremely frustrating when I click a mailto link and Mail.app starts to open. This is one of the most annoying things on my Mac (which I otherwise adore).
But I just found a way to make GMail in Chrome handle mail links…
- Open a GMail tab
- [from that GMail tab] Open a javascript console with CMD-OPTION-J and paste in the following:
-
navigator.registerProtocolHandler('mailto', 'https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s', 'Gmail');
-
- Hit enter and accept the popup in your browser.

Will you be my code-valentine, Chrome?
