Hacking Gmail

Chapter 6 — Gmail and Greasemonkey 113

if (nameValue && nameValue.length == 3) {
// depending on name, store value in a
pre-defined location
switch(nameValue[1]) {
case “to”:
emailTo = emailTo + “%2C%20” +
nameValue[2];
break;
case “cc”:
emailCC = nameValue[2];
//alert(“Found CC=” +
emailCC);
break;
case “subject”:
emailSubject = nameValue[2];
//alert(“Found subject=” +
emailSubject);
break;

//alert(“Found body=” +
emailBody);

mailtoLink.href =
“https://mail.google.com/mail?view=cm&tf=0” +
(emailTo? (“&to=” + emailTo) : “”) +
(emailCC? (“&cc=” + emailCC) : “”) +
(emailSubject? (“&su=” + emailSubject) : “”)

• (emailBody? (“&body=” + emailBody) : “”);
  // mailtoLink.onclick = function() { location.href
  = newUrl; return false; };
  }
  }

window.addEventListener(“load”, processMailtoLinks,
false);

})();

Instead of rewriting the mailto:links directly, as Mark Pilgrim’s script does to
make HTTP links into HTTPS, this script adds a JavaScript onclickfunction
