The problem is likely to be that by default TiddlyWiki marks up external links with target=“_blank”, to cause them to open in a new window. It appears that other browsers are smart enough to realise that a mailto: link isn’t going to open in a browser, and so avoid opening the new window. One reason that Chrome might behave differently is its support for assigning mailto: links to web applications; in that situation, perhaps they need to support opening a mailto: link in a new tab. In the meantime, I fear that the easiest fix would be to use a custom macro to render your mailto: links. For example: \define email-link(address) <a href="mailto:$address$";>$address$</a> \end <<email-link "[email protected]">> In my tests, I’m still seeing an unnecessary seeming confirmation dialogue from Chrome.
