Description

This extension will make mailto: links open in a Gmail compose window. Nothing more, nothing less.

  • Supports Google Apps accounts
  • Works on javascript-inserted links
  • Includes option of working on bcc: fields

It supports to, cc, subject, and body (and optionally bcc) fields, and is made to be compatible with RFC2368, the mailto: scheme standard.

It doesn't modify the mailto:address itself, so you can still see the link in the status bar when you hover over it, which allows you to easily read the target at a glance.

Please note, this extension doesn't need or provide any access to your mail account. It just makes links open in a Gmail account that you are already signed into. This extension can't help with mailto links outside of chrome.

More info: RFC2368 - The mailto URL scheme: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2368.html mailto links test page: http://www.scottseverance.us/mailto.html

Recent changes:

  • No longer need to refresh tabs on install, or after updating settings.
  • Updated code to avoid deprecation warnings, and warnings in console.
