Google Contacts - mailto:

Here's what you got to do:
  1. Drag the bookmarklet to your bookmarks toolbar. It's called Favorites in Internet Explorer.
  2. Load Google Contacts (currently called "preview version") and click your newly created bookmark.
  3. Nothing will visibly change but when you click an e-mail address in the list of your contacts, your regular e-mail client will open, instead of Gmail pop-up.

Now drag this link to your bookmarks:

GC mailto

This is the content of the bookmarklet in an easy to read format:
(function(){
  if (window.jQuery === undefined) {
    var done = false;
    js = document.createElement('SCRIPT');
    js.type = 'text/javascript';
    js.src = '//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js';
    js.onload = js.onreadystatechange = function() {
      if (!done && (!this.readyState || this.readyState == 'loaded' || this.readyState == 'complete')) {
        done = true;
        initMyBookmarklet();
      }
    };
    document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(js);
  } else {
    initMyBookmarklet();
  }

  function processClick(e) {
    if (this == e.target) {
      window.location = 'mailto:' + $(this).text();
      e.stopImmediatePropagation();
      e.stopPropagation();
    }
  };

  function initMyBookmarklet() {
    (window.myBookmarklet = function() {
      $('.wDPsO')
        .off('click')
        .on('click', processClick);

      $(document)
        .off('mousedown', '.jNJq8')
        .on('mousedown', '.jNJq8', processClick);
    })();
  }
})();
void(0);
