Extension summary

This extension will make mailto: links open in a Gmail compose window. Nothing more, nothing less.

Supports Google Apps accounts
Works on javascript-inserted links
Includes option of working on bcc: fields

It supports to, cc, subject, and body (and optionally bcc) fields, and is made to be compatible with RFC2368, the mailto: scheme standard.

It doesn't modify the mailto:address itself, so you can still see the link in the status bar when you hover over it, which allows you to easily read the target at a glance.

Please note, this extension doesn't need or provide any access to your mail account. It just makes links open in a Gmail account that you are already signed into. This extension can't help with mailto links outside of chrome.
