    How can I set Gmail as my default email program in Chrome?


    Hi all. When I try to share something via email from a website, I get a dialog box that says "There is no email program associated to perform the requested action." I have searched for how to set Gmail as the default, and I've found some instructions for going into Chrome settings to do it, but maybe the instructions are outdated because I can't find the sections they are referring to, like "Content Settings" or "Handlers."

    Can someone tell me how to do this on the newest versions of...

    Set Mailto default to Gmail in Chrome


    I've googled and searched tenforums and found descriptions of how to do this but nothing seems to work.

    I have added the mailto Handler in Chrome settings and it shows mail.google.com.

    I have set the Mail default app to Chrome.

    I have set the default Mailto protocol to point to Chrome.

    I have tried adding an extension called 'Mailto' to Chrome.

    And still when I Send to the Mail Recipient with a rt click I get an error message saying there is no email program associated to perform the requested action.

    Has anyone got this working?

    (Picasa has no problem popping up a gmail compose window when told to send a pic to email.
    I eventually want my scanner to be able to scan to email).
