foo@bar.baz looks much like going to bar.baz via http protocol (or
https in some cases due to HSTS), using user foo: you may check
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL#Syntax: side from omitting a
protocol this is a valid URL interpretation and http/https is the
default one. You should be able to do what is needed if you add
`mailto:` before emails so chromium would know what exactly you need.
