             Summary: window.open mailto: consistency
                 Key: CB-11846
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11846
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
          Components: Plugin InAppBrowser
    Affects Versions: 1.5.0
            Reporter: Lex Mourek
             Fix For: Master


{{window.open('mailto:f...@bar.com')}} is inconsistent among platforms. On iOS 
it opens native email app, on Android and Windows it silently fails and do 
nothing. 

On the other hand window.open('tel:650-349-9067') works on all mentioned 
platforms. 

I know now that one can add second parameter {{_system}} to window.open to 
enforce opening link in native browser but the main problem is that it is not 
evident for the first look. It took me two hours on my project to find out that 
it is the InAppBrowser plugin which causes that my email links don't work on 
Android while it works on iOS.

I suggest we fix {{mailto:}} links opening on Android and Windows to make it 
consistent and I'm able to provide pull request for this.
