Great utility!
Sorry to use this to request a feature but ....

I use "Gmail This" in a browser to send links of a page.
It creates a new message in Gmail with the link in the body. Here is the
code it uses. Could Mailnoter do the same thing?

javascript:(function(){m='https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1&view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to=&su='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&body='+encodeURIComponent(document.location);w=window.open(m,'addwindow','status=no,toolbar=no,width=575,height=545,resizable=yes');setTimeout(function(){w.focus();},%20250);})();;setTimeout(function(){w.focus();},%20250);})();)

    have this API since it's web only.

    Using the javascript you posted can only work from the browser directly since it
    accesses browser variables - MailNoter can not access those from 'outside'.

    Gmail does now support MAPI so is there a way with that support?

    If it supports MAPI, you have to somehow make GMail your default mail client. That
    should be enough for MailNoter to use GMail (if it really supports MAPI, but I doubt
    that).

    MAPI is an API to access a mail client:
