This is a great addition. But is there any way to set a consistent "To:" person. I almost always send online articles to myself, but with your extension, I have to add my name. it's not a major burden, but it would be nice if i could save that step.

마이크로 소프트가 업데이트로 지메일 대신 아웃룩을 계속, 강제적으로 사용하게 하려고 한다. 작업표시줄엔 더이상 지메일을 사용할 수 없다. 독점사용에 반대하려는 자, 아웃룩을 설치하지 말지어다. Microsoft is trying to force you to use Outlook instead of Gmail with updates. Gmail is no longer available on the taskbar. If you want to oppose monopoly, don't install Outlook.

I used this all the time flawlessly! Now, though, it never works in Ironically, Chrome. :( I'm giving it three stars because it worked amazingly, but now, never.
