thank you all, boys! the compliments are not mine, as the original idea!

however, for Ning Bao, you can replace the string

>> eval("gmailIcon.addEventListener('click', function() { GM_openInTab(" + emailUrlVarName + "); return false; }, true);"); <<

with the new string

>> eval("gmailIcon.addEventListener('click', function() { window.open(" + emailUrlVarName + ",'Compose mail'); return false; }, true);"); <<

and the game is did: new window instead of new tab

Woo hoo! Though I'm not geek, I was able to change the gmail link to my webmail service. Works like a charm.

Great tool! But I am wondering how to modify the script so that I can open the Gmail compose in a new window instead of a new tab. Thanks! E-mail me the method, thanks!

i updated the script. The problem was that the parse function didn't start into craiglist. I modified the script. Now it works fine

This does not seem to work on e-mail addresses with a - in it. For example, all www.craigslist.org email addresses are not tagged properly.
