Currently, when you "Send Communication to" via a group roster and then select "Open list in e-mail client," it opens the email client in the same window. After you send the email, this essentially becomes a "dead-end" window and the sender has to manually navigate back to their group page/LMS from scratch.
It would be more convenient if the email client always opened in a new tab so the sender isn't navigated away from their group page and continue working more seamlessly.
This also applies to when you click on an individual's email on the Roster. It would be preferred if the "emailto:" links always opened in a new tab.
Yes...I agree...the "Send Communication to" button should open in a new window. I think of this as a current flaw that we need fixed. No one wants the button to open on the same screen. This should be a very easy fix to implement.
