I usually use Firefox for my browser, but because we've switched over to using GMail at work, I use Chrome only for email, as it is more compatible with GMail. GMail Notifier works perfectly! Once I installed it, I went in to Firefox and selected Notifier for the mailto: type and it just works! Now when I click on a mailto: link in FF, it switches over to Chrome and brings up a compose mail page! I really appreciate you enlightening me (yes, we are not worthy, etc., etc.) Thank you so much for the info.

If you're using Firefox, then go to Options/Preferences (I'm on a PC), click on the Applications tab, and then search for "mailto" (without quotes). It will give you a list of options one of which should be gmail. (Mine also shows yahoo.) This isn’t guaranteed to work.

As in, doesn't work for me. I have Google Talk configged to open GMail for links but it still pops up a new Outlook message. Not critical, but I'd love to have the option. Blast you again, Microsoft!
