That was the objective, to bring up compose addressed according to the mailto link. If you just want to view/read your emails, you can just change the url to "https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox";. If you want specific labels, you can try something like this: "https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#label/<name_of_label>" You can even link to specific email threads from your records/notes like this: "https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#all/1394076b7582f296"; The above should take you to the current thread on _my_ Gmail account. Of course you can't view it since you can't login as me :-p. The hash in the url uniquely identifies the thread in my Gmail account. Hope this helps. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
