Awesome script! One suggestion if the bubble would pop up without clicking at all, just a role over that would be really helpful. Esp for us mac users.

Could you add "Show img" and "Open Actual Msg" buttons? The first is quite obvious, and the second is due to some HTML email which doesn't render correctly, too wide, for instance.

Thanks a lot. Great script!

hello there!

this plugin would be very useful, but however it doesnt work for me in opera 9.02. right click would nothing but show a list of options (you know the edit site preferences and all....)

and i also enabled the error box, i recieve a lot of errors for this script.

is there any modifications to be done when using this script in opera ???? (first off, opera does support greasemonkey scripts isnt it? at least thats what i read on the net)

please do answer my queries, thankx a lot!

I'm using this script with my hosted Gmail account. It will only work properly when I have no unread mail in my inbox. When I do have unread messages, the email that appears in the preview is not the one I clicked on, but rather from an email below it. It's as if it's offset by the number of unread emails. If I have two unread, the preview pulls from an email two below the one I click on. Any ideas on how to fix?

Great script!

But signficant problem: if you try to "Archive" selected msg, not only that msg but ANY OTHER CHECKED MSGS get archived! This is an unintentional side effect of clicking "Archive" while looking at a single msg...

(a solution to this could share common code with my recommendation re: Gmail macros: ability to perform action on item AT THE CARAT without affecting "checked" items or which items are "checked"!)

This is a very cool script I must say.

I have one minor point though, one of the functions of gmail I like most is the threaded conversations display, would it maybe be possible that when you click on a conversation you do not only get the last message in the conversation but the full conversation? (maybe in reverse order, so that newest is on top?)

You do get the full conversation when the thread is marked as unread, but I could not find in the script why that happens (so I couldnt fiddle around and try to hack something like this in myself).

Other than this point, very good work! Thank you!

It's already been fixed on original script location.

I have modified this script to address the broken Trash and Archive links, using updated code from the authors Gmail Macros script. I've also added my own personalizations to the script including a Subject bar below the link bar and removal of the "Loading" bubble. The script I have updated can be downloaded here: http://www.userscripts.org/scripts/source/3759....

No problems with Conversation Bubbles from 3/19 on.

Similar comment as to Jason P on 3/16. Bubble still opens and displays email as usual, but Archive and Trash functions no longer work (for the last 2-3 days). I'm using FF 1.5.0.1, and have the "http://persistent.info/greasemonkey/Gmail Conversation Preview: Not able to find a 'More Actions...' menu" message popup in my Javascript Console.

very nice, I do love this :)

Sadly, since yesterday, the 'Archive' button no longer actually archives the message (it still closes the popup window and marks the message as read). Did something change on Google's API side? Or is my machine just a little jacked?

I love the comment bubble. Here are a couple of things to think about:

What if the email you're looking at has pictures in it? You can't see the pictures in the comment bubble.

What if you want to reply to the email. It would be useful to be able to click reply, just as you can click trash, archive, etc.

Awesome script though! Kudos!

really well-done script. actually loading the email is pretty quick all by itself (without this) so i don't think i'll be using it.
all in all though, very slick.

For me the bubble in front of the preview window ist broken. I found that the src is missing in the HTML Code.
To fix this is to change this.pointNode to Element "div" instead of "img". Then insert some innerHTML with html img.
// point
//this.pointNode = newNode("img");
this.pointNode = newNode("div");
this.pointNode.innerHTML = '
this.pointNode.className = "PV_point";
this.bubbleNode.appendChild(this.pointNode);

After installing the script from http://userscripts.org/fixes/ it started working again. Wonder why the main link is not updated yet, though it says last updated on Dec. 19th
