11 years ago Turns out that this is a bug with chrome and the latest version () on Windows 8. The workaround is to set the browser to Chrome for each of your accounts. For some reason on Windows 8, when the default system url handler launches chrome, it snips the hash in the url argument and anything after it (eg. http://mail.google.c...3ae97fd0f7e1464 becomes http://mail.google.com/mail). I'll be submitting this to the chrome team to take a look at.
On Windows 8 Help.ShowHelp doesn't launch urls that contain a hash (#). Fails on every test I've thrown at it. The problem with this lies in launching email. When you click on the thumbnail preview or the email icon on toast messages (or from the jumplist), your inbox is opened, rather than the email itself.
