From the Hall: GmailThis!: "What is GmailThis! ?

GmailThis! is an easy way to make a Gmail email without visiting mail.google.com. Once you add the GmailThis! link to your browser's toolbar, emailing will be a snap. Or rather, a click. Clicking GmailThis! creates a mini-interface to Gmail prepopulated with a link to the web page you are visiting, as well as any text you have highlighted on that page. Add additional text if you wish and then email or save as draft from within GmailThis!"
Known issues:

* If you aren't already logged into Gmail, the log-in screen is displayed. You must log in and then re-launch GmailThis!.
* May not work properly in Microsoft Internet Explorer. (Thanks, a bunch of people.)
* In Opera, you must right-click and save as bookmark; drag 'n' drop won't work. (Thanks, Wendy.)
* Only Western encoding is supported. (Thanks, Wendy.)

Edit: Thank you for your comments. However, if you're reporting a bug, I do need some more info so that I can be more helpful. Please post relevent info, such as:

1. The browser you're using;
2. The operating systen you're using;
3. Whether or not you have a pop-up blocker in use.

Thank you for using (or trying to use) GmailThis!

Edit Two: If you'd like to link to GmailThis! on your website, copy and paste this code:
