Numbers? I always clicked "yes" to that prompt when I was using GMail as my client. Maybe I'm weird?
- amadeuspagel 6y agoI don't have any numbers, however there's a tool called hunter which finds relevant email addresses for websites, and it uses copy to clipboard rather then mailto. If even most people who know about and use such a tool don't have mailto configured, probably almost no one has. I don't know what prompt your talking about. Maybe an uncommon browser feature?
- kevsim 6y agoIt's not uncommon. A web app can call navigator.registerProtocolHandler (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/registerProtocolHandler https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/r...) to become the default mail handler. GMail does this.
- amadeuspagel 6y agoInteresting. I use gmail, and I remember that mailto links bugged me forever, until I set it up manually.
