I see contributor as anyone who contributed to me figuring it all out,
plus I'd ideally like to use your executeCommand function, so with
luck you will be a contributor!
The problem with the existing email command is that it assumes a few
things in the function which make it less than optimal for aliasing:
execute: function(directObj, headers) {
var html = directObj.html;
var document = context.focusedWindow.document;
var title;
var toAddress = "";
if (document.title) <--------------------------- HERE
title = document.title;
else
title = html;
var location = document.location; <------- Extraneous
var gmailTab = findGmailTab();
var pageLink = "<a href=\"" + location + "\">" + title + "</a>";
if (html) { <--------------------------- AND HERE
html = ("<p>From the page " + pageLink + ":</p>" + html);
} else {
// If there's no selection, just send the current page.
html = "<p>You might be interested in " + pageLink + ".</p>";
}
title = "'" + title + "'"; <---- Here too
....
- It assumes that if there is no document.title for the page the tab
I'm on that I want the message body to be my email line (as well as
assuming that I want the subject line within single-quotes)
- it also assumes that I want a message with a page-link in my email
body (which ended up undefined in my app)
If just these few lines were changed it would be much easier to alias
this command
