It's certainly a long-term problem which Google has apparently fixed. Namely, getting your e-mail links to actually open in Gmail. It seems like it should be simple, and it is if you have an email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird. But what if you have Gmail? Here's how to make email links actually open in Gmail, and the tip is courtesy of Scott Tousley of Sidekick...by Hubspot.
