Email Link with Gmail

[ace214]

Someone has posted a bookmarklet to email links with your default mail program, but for those who use Gmail as webmail, this will work.

Make a new bookmark and make the name Email with Gmail or whatever you want, and the URL

javascript:document.location='https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1&v...ment.location;

If you want a pop-up bookmarklet, use the following URL

javascript:window.open('https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1&v...ument.location);return false;

That currently opens a new tab. I'm working on getting the pop-out effect that Gmail has.
Unfortunately, middle-clicking the first one does not work, because when it opens it in a new tab, it is reading the URL and title from that new tab instead of the original one you wanted to to link to. I may work on a solution to this in the future.

Oddly this makes the text box in Gmail not the width of the screen. I'm not sure why that is, but it works just fine- just looks a little funny. If anyone can offer any wisdom to this, I would appreciate it.

Nice. I'll have to try this later.

Hey, this works great! Thank you!

Excellent! Been looking for that for the past week. Thanks a lot!

The bookmarklet gives me an error (Bad Request - Error 400) or only opens Gmail inbox in a new tab. Only on this site (Chromespot) it actually works. How very odd

Same here.

Try this

javascript:document.location='https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&to= &=1&su='+document.title+'&body='+document.location;

new tab

javascript:window.open('https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&to= &=1&su='+document.title+'&body='+document.location);return false;

I hope this works. I actually don't have a clue as to what I'm doing.

[bittercrash]

Yes! It works! Good job!

Even better: This is gmailthis

javascript:popw='';Q='';x=document;y=window;if(x.selection) {Q=x.selection.createRange().text;} else if (y.getSelection) {Q=y.getSelection();} else if (x.getSelection) {Q=x.getSelection();}popw = y.open('https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=c...1&to=&su=' + escape(document.title) + '&body=' + escape(Q) + escape('\n') + escape(location.href) + '&zx=RANDOMCRAP&shva=1&disablechatbrowsercheck=1&ui=1','gmailForm','scrollbars=yes,width=680,height=510,top=175,left=75,status=no,resizable=yes');if (!document.all) T = setTimeout('popw.focus()',50);void(0);

This last one opens a popup..... but tells me there's something wrong with my Gmail account (Temporary Error - 502), while I have no problem whatsoever with it.
