I had no idea this was needed.

A google employee (Jon Perlow) created a way to keep you from drunk emailing (or just give you a minute to 2nd guess yourself).

Use Gmail for mailto links on webpages

A wonderful series of posts here and here show how to add a mailto handler to the newest version of firefox in order to click an "email me" link on a webpage and compose your email in gmail... then shoot it off. Here are the steps:

1. In Firefox’s address bar, copy and paste the following and hit enter: about:config
2. Click “I’ll be careful, I promise!” when the warning appears
3. In the “Filter:” field, copy and paste: gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost
4. Double click the found result to change the boolean value from false to true
5. In the address bar, copy and paste the following: javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto","http://mail.google.com/a/yourdomain.org/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s","Google Apps")
6. Replace “yourdomain.org” with your own Google Apps hosted domain and hit enter
7. Click “Add Application” when it asks you a question
8. go to Edit > Preferences > Applications > mailto
9. Choose “Use Google Apps”

For those who use schwerzler.com the javascript string I used is this:

• javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto","http://mail.google.com/a/schwerzler.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s","Schwerzler.com")
This is just flippin awesome!
