mailto: links in Google Chrome

I am trying to implement mailto: links in my application. When I use
the mailto: link with the target attribute as shown below, the browser
opens the email program fine but closes my GWT program by moving the
browser to about:blank page.

<a href='mailto:myemail@mail.com'>Send Email</a>

The same link works fine in Firefox without closing my GWT application/
page.

If I use the following link with the TARGET attribute, the email
program is opened correctly but Google Chrome annoyingly opens a new
tab with the URL about:blank

<a href='mailto:myemail@mail.com' target='_blank'>Send Email</a>

Again the same links work fine in Firefox.

Is there a way around this Google Chrome problem with email links?

Thanks,

Melody
