Mailto Compose In GMail

Rewrites "mailto:" links to GMail compose links.

This script is a modification of Julien Couvreur's original version, here:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/595
It just adds support for Google Apps for Your Domain Gmail.

Click on a mailto: link on any web page and open up a compose form in Gmail. If you use Google Apps for Your Domain, from the user script command menu, set your domain name and your compose link will go there.

I just tried this; it's very nicely working for me.

Will this userscript work for manually entering a mailto into the Firefox address bar...?

I have an AutoIT program (complainterator.com) that does mailto's this way...

When I tested it, it opened outlook 2007.

mailto:myspouse@gmail.com?cc=myself@mycompany.com&bcc=myaccountant@duey.cheatem.and.howe.net

You need to change the code as follows:


case "bcc":
emailBCC = nameValue[2];
//alert("Found BCC=" + emailBCC);
break;

Then a statement such as the following WILL parse into TO:, CC: and BCC: entries:


Send me e-mail

Just added support for BCC, parameters in upper case, and the new Gmail UI. Let me know what you think.

This script breaks mailto links that pass the bcc: parameter. It looks like cc: is supported in the code, could you add bcc in there as well?

Support for mailto links with a bcc is essential for using the online contact management service Highrise from 37signals.

I posted this comment on Julien Couvrier's original version as well.
