If you link to a standard (ie, javascript-enabled) Gmail conversation page as I described above, most of the javascript does not work, so you can't reply (even if you use plain text) because the send button doesn't work, you can't expand, etc, etc.

However, if on that page you click on New Window, it will open up an external browser window with a slimmed down version of the conversation view, and if you copy that URL into UR and then view in UR, all the javascript DOES work. It is still missing the ability to archive and delete the conversation and you can't reply with Rich Text, as described above, but it is cool to be able to have a dynamically updating email conversation linked into UR.

It would be nice if you didn't have to do that extra step (ie, opening the new window) but that seems to be a function of Gmail quirkiness, not UR. Unless there is a way to force new browser windows to be opened within UR?

Another negative is that email text is not indexed since it is dynamically retrieved via javascript I guess.
