Script Summary: Makes "mailto" links open in the web interface to your gmail account, instead of a POP-3 client (like Outlook, Eudora, Thunderbird, etc.)

The old "Mailto 2 Webmail" was taking 10+ seconds to work its magic on an average page on my computer. For large forums it'd take several minutes, which I'm not willing to tolerate when it only took 5 seconds with it disabled.

I stripped out all the excess functionality(Yahoo, etc.) and simplified the code. I don't know what that XPath stuff is, but it's obviously slower than regular javascript.

Maybe this more efficient version will be helpful to someone stuck on a not-so-new computer. ;)
