This is only somewhat related to Chromium, but I'm asking here because the chromium developers might be the most likely to know the answer.
I currently am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and I want to associate mailto: links that I click in Chromium (and anywhere, really) to be associated to a new window popping up in Chromium that opens a new email composition in GMail. I know the command for this (it involves -- app), but that doesn't do me any good if I can't put it anywhere. On windows xp, all I had to do was find the MAILTO "file type" and associate the appropriate command with it and everything worked. But in Windows 7 I do not have a MAILTO protocol. I go to Control Panel >> Default Programs >> Set Default Programs >> Chromium >> "Choose defaults for this program". In this window, I have "FTP", "HTTP", and "HTTPS" protocols, but no MAILTO protocol. I'm assuming this is because I have no email client installed on my operating system, and Windows 7 acts dumb and doesn't even make MAILTO available since it does not detect an email client. That's just my speculation, though. Even if MAILTO was available, I don't think it would help because Windows 7 seems to have taken away the ability to associate a command with a protocol, like what was previously possible in Windows XP.
