- Removed invite that appears after sending an email to non-gmail user.

Version 1.06
Some of you may be cursing me for updating twice in one day, or 3 times in a week, but here is yet another.
- Automatically return to your inbox after replying to an email.

Version 1.05
- Fixed mailbox icons that got messed up from Gmail css change.
- Footer now shows the Google copyright line. Just seemed right.
- Removed search bar toggle added in previous build.

Version 1.04
- Added functionality for toggling the logo and search bar on/off for extra space.
- Changed script for auto-showing of message header detail to Tim Smart's. It was much smaller as it utilizes his GMail API.

Version 1.03
- Changed inbox icon from house to open envelope

Version 1.02
- Changed the name to GMail Essentials to remove confusion that it is not just a skin

Version 1.01
- Toggle visibility of GMail logo. Just change true/false value at top of script.
- Toggle showing of message details. Same as logo.
- Unread Spam count now correctly visible

Version 1.0
Removed with this script:
- Ads have been removed
- Invites box is gone
- Footer only shows usage data (storage and access info)

Added with this script:
- Quicklinks are now active buttons
- Attachment icon will be more appropriate for type instead of paperclip for all (except with multiple differing attachments in a single message)
- Row Hover highlighting in blue
- New email highlighting in yellow
- Selected email highlight in light blue
- Show details for message by default
- Tango Icon theme for system folders/labels, top right nav bar, and refresh link

It could use some fixing to keep the small size when in personal labels/folders.
