By default, browsers open desktop mail clients when a mailto link is clicked.
That means, by default, mailto links are broken for anyone who uses web-based email (most people?)
- matchu 13y agoThe first time I opened Gmail in Chrome, it asked me if Gmail should handle mailto links. I said yes, so now mailto links work great for me. It's still kinda messy, but at least Chrome and Gmail made it easy for me rather than having me dive into obscure settings. Not sure how Chrome handles other webmail clients, though.
- drivebyacct2 13y agoIt's a standard for protocol handling registration. Anyone can do it. The same way irccloud offers to handle irc: and Google Calendar offers to handle ical:, etc.
