How to use Gmail Mailto Chrome Handler

  1. Make sure Google Chrome is your default browser. This program will probably break mailto: links if you have a different default browser.
  2. Download Gmail Mailto Chrome Handler.app, put it somewhere useful (like /Applications), and run it.
  3. Try clicking this mailto: link. If it opens a new message in Gmail, you're all done!
  4. If the mailto link didn't work as expected, open Mail.app, go to Preferences, and under the General tab, select Gmail Mailto Chrome Handler.app as your "Default email reader".
