Thanks so much, Jessica! Just thought I'd add that there's a more general problem here of determining where links should open (new tab in Mailplane vs. new window in Mailplane vs. browser), which Mailplane is trying to solve automatically, but not always succeeding. For instance, if you get an email with a link to Google Maps in it and click the link, it is opened in your browser. However, if you add a location to an event in your Calendar tab in Mailplane, and then click the "Map" link Gcal renders for that location when you click the event in the calendar view, the map is loaded in a new Mailplane window. And holding ⌘ while clicking the link doesn't change the behavior (e.g. open it in the browser), as it does in Gmail. There are several other examples like this.
So Mailplane's determination of what an "external" link is is inconsistent, and so is the feature to hold ⌘ when clicking to toggle opening in your browser vs. in Mailplane. I'm guessing making external link detection consistent will be a quick fix, and so will making the ⌘-click behavior consistent. But ideally, Mailplane would let users open Google services in tabs, and also offer a setting like "Always open [Google Maps | Google Groups | … | All Google Services] links in [default browser | new Mailplane tab | new Mailplane window]". Thanks for your consideration.
