Default email app not being used when I click an email address from another app

[AC Question]

I have my default email app set, and from Chrome it works great. However, from an app when I click on the email address it always brings up 3 options, my default, gmail, and AT&T messaging.

I know Google would like me to use gmail instead, but I should have the right not to see that option every single time I want to send an Email from an app. Same with AT&T. I tried uninstalling both of those apps but that is not allowed.

Any suggestions?
