Chromium: Use Gmail as Default Email Client (KDE 4)

During my two day test with Chromium I forgot to add how to use Gmail as your default email client in Chromium. I usually use my ISP provided email and Kmail, but I got an old Gmail account that I still get emails on.

Open System Settings and in Default Applications select ‘Use a different email client’ and enter:

chromium-browser https://mail.google.com/mail/#compose

    This will bring up gmail and will insert the address you wish to send to:

    chromium-browser “https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to=”%t

  2. Hurrah. Very nice Danial Boline.
