      Hello

      When mailto: links are associated with a webmail, the webmail page opens in the tab where the click occured. It makes you loose your current page.
      It should open in a new tab instead.

      (Dream: if a tab already contains webmail's url, use it !)

      Thank you !

        Does middle-clicking the link not open a new tab?

          Yes, it does. But I expect a left click to do the same. When your email client launches, it does not close the current tab, so I would expect the webmail to behave in the same way.
