Mailto Gmail (G-Mailto)

I discovered a nice little tool today that allows you to open mailto links in Gmail and not Outlook or another specified mail client. Now there are many things around that function on the GreaseMonkey add-on and intercept mailto links within a web browser and redirect them to Gmail.

Great, but what if you need to open a mailto link that is not in a web browser? I had this problem today and so set about googling. G-Mailto is a tool that you install on your computer which adds a clever bit of code into the registry that essentially adds a program to windows as an option for handling E-Mail but opens up Gmail rather than a program like Outlook.

Problem solved. The site even gives you details about what to do to make your own if you wanted to try and improve or add to the program.
