Comment (by spinhead):

 See this article from the Nielsen Norman Group
 (https://www.nngroup.com/articles/mailing-list-usability/)

 "mailto links violate the basic assumption on the web that clicking a link
 will cause a new page to be displayed. Instead they surprise and annoy the
 user by dumping them into a different application."
