I know that I have seen this before, and have run through these steps to use Gmail as my mailto application in Firefox 3. Since then, I have switched to a different computer, and attemped to use Thunderbird as mail client, but have started use the web interface more.
This post describes how to use the Gmail web interface to handle mailto urls. This page also describes what you need to do to get it to work with Google Apps domains.
You'll get this "for free" if you install the Google Toolbar. Oh, and I think there are greasemonkey scripts to help as well.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you should try FF 3.1b, which has the JavaScript JIT compiler turned on by default. It's a lot faster.
