Scott, I wasn't real thrilled with the notion of running yet another background task, but thought I'd give it a try. Installed and entered my gmail username and password, then tried clicking a mailto link. Voilà! Gmail! Decided to try shutting down the process in the systray and try it again. It still worked! By watching a process monitor, I see that the gmail notifier runs momentarily when I click a link, then goes away... I can live with that!! Thank you!
