Removes target “blank” from mailto

Hi Till,

Unfortunately, your plugin removes the addition target=”_blank” from all “mailto” links. Is it possible to disable this function?

You implemented it in version 0.3.4.

If a user has their default mail client (e.g. Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.) set up to be a native app, it doesn’t really matter. They click a mailto: link, that application opens up, a new email is created, and it behaves the same whether you’ve attempted to open that link in a new tab or not.

But if a user has a browser-based email client set up, it does matter. For example, you can allow Gmail to be your default email handler on Chrome. In that case, the link behaves like any other link, in that if you don’t open in a new tab, the page will redirect to Gmail.

Best Regards,
Chrigi
