[email protected] looks much like going to bar.baz via http protocol (or https in some cases due to HSTS), using user foo: you may check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL#Syntax: side from omitting a protocol this is a valid URL interpretation and http/https is the default one. You should be able to do what is needed if you add `mailto:` before emails so chromium would know what exactly you need. > > Thank you! :-) > > -- > -- > You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. > Do not top-post!
