Correct answer Abambo

Mailto: will open the default e-mail handler for your system. If that is Gmail, they will open Gmail, which is probably a disguised Chrome browser.

I am having the exact same problem, whether I edit the link as an URL or email. All it does is take me to Chrome. WTH? It was working months ago...now, my resume is kinda useless, without a clickable email address.
