Hi,
I noticed that the Windows builds of Firefox have had the mail toolbar button for a while now, but the Linux builds don't. Will the mail button be part of the Linux version sometime?
Thanks.

i don't think so, i think there is an intergration problem within linux holding back such button, there is a standard way of getting the "default" mail client through the registry on windows yet one does not exist on linux.

Actually, what I've done is create an Internet Service called 'mail' in the GNOME Control Panel. It's set to launch Evolution. I then created a bookmark on the bookmark bar with the URL being 'mail:' and voila, Evolution launches when I click it. I just think the mail button on the toolbar is a little more elegant than my jury-rigging solution. I guess beggars can't be choosers.
