chrome also defaults to the 'default mailer' for your desktop.

i.e on most linuxes - 'evolution' is set as the default mailer for
gnome [perhaps kmail for kde etc.]. Unless you change this setting to
something else - chrome will attempt to spwan evolution/kmail.

Since 'mailto' requires extra config for setting users prefered mail
client - I assert most users don't have this configured.
[perhaps its a trival config for most common e-mail clients]

Folks on this list can easily give feedback and tell us if thier
browser is configured already for mailto: for their prefrered e-mail
client or not.
