Although Google Chrome does not include a feature that opens email links in the Gmail website, Google has created an official extension that adds this function to the browser.

Prior to the Google releasing this feature, users had to copy an e-mail address or URL, open Gmail manually, create a new message and paste it into the message.

No more! Gmail can do that too (if you use Chrome). Just today, Google has begun to ask people whether or not they would “Allow Gmail (mail.google.com) to open all email links”.
