I would kill all mailto: links. In the age of gmail, how many people does this actually apply to? I always accidentally click these links, and it opens up some default email program that came with my OS that I've never touched before.

Depending on what browser you're using, extensions are available to make those mailto links work with Gmail. Some instructions to get you started here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=10966 http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=10966

Webmail is a poor replacement for a real email client, and the usage stats back this up: http://www.campaignmonitor.com/stats/email-clients/ http://www.campaignmonitor.com/stats/email-clients/ More people used the Mail app on iOS devices than Hotmail, Yahoo Mail or Gmail. A better solution to your problem would be for the browser/OS to allow the user to specify a web app to handle mailto: links
