Gmail Attachment Information

Adds a link to insert the information about the attachment files into the message body. (works only with Gmail 2.0)

Some people recommends to write an information of the attachment files by some reason.
This script helps you to insert that kind of information into in the end of the message body. Please click the paper clip shaped icon after your attachment files are automatically uploaded and their filenames turn to be blue.

Doesn't work again. Maybe the gmail engine changed.

I'm using ff2, just tried it again and it works great. My apologies, I must have done something wrong last time.

With firefox2, it should work in UK environment.

But I found that this scripts doesn't work with firefox3 even in US environment.
So, tango_ninja, if you are using firefox3, please give me some days to fix this problem.

doesn't work - i'm using the new gmail also. The paper clip is not a link, simply an image. I'm using English (UK) but it's the same text "Attach a file".

Hiromacu, that's what should I say. Thank you for helping me debugging.
Any comments and bug reports are appreciated.

I cannot reproduce the 'nbsp' bug in my environment, but I suppose it is a special letter to show a half-width blank character in HTML.

In the blue line which is in the right of the clip icon, is there a blank space between the figure and the unit? I mean, is it "162 KB" instead of "162KB"?
If it is a case, please try a newer version (1.3) of my script. Please do not forget to change 'trigWord' in the source.

Thanx! It works, but something no good with the file size (162nbspKB). What is this 'nbsp'?

I've forgot to write that this script works only with new Gmail.

If your language for Gmail is not English (US), please modify the script by following steps:

(1)Open Gmail with your browser and switch to the view to compose a mail.
(2)Locate a paper clip shaped icon, and jot down the words in the right of the icon.
(They are 'Attach a file' in English (US) environment.)
(3)Open the downloaded script with your favorite text editor then locate 'var trigWord = "Attach a file";' line.
(4)Replace the right-hand side with the word you jotted.
(5)Save the script and reload Gmail.

If the script doesn't work even though with these steps, please tell me about that.
Thank you.
