Firefox only: Just uploaded the newest version of the Better Gmail Firefox extension, which adds 6 more options to our favorite web-based email solution.


Version 0.7 adds a "compose message with Gmail" link to mailto: links on web pages, an option to use fixed font on plain text messages, the ability to hide the labels box in the sidebar, a Google Calendar link which loads your GCal in the messages area in the folder list, the ability to shrink long URLs in outgoing messages with a keystroke, and an option to use larger attachment filetype icons.


All said and done, Better Gmail now rolls up 27 Greasemonkey user scripts into one extension! After the jump, take a look at the new features and grab the download.
