Cc and Bcc field size in Gmail

The Cc and Bcc field sizes in Gmail are too small to work with if you’re sending to more than about 20 email addresses. The following bookmarklet will increase their height when used:

javascript:(function(){var%20e=window.frames[3].document.getElementsByTagName('textarea');%20for(i=0;i&lt;e.length;i++){%20if(e[i].name=='cc'%20or%20e[i].name=='bcc')%20{%20e[i].style.height='150px';%20}%20};})();

To install (in Firefox).

Right click on your Bookmarks toolbar and choose “New Bookmark”
Enter a name for the Bookmark, e.g. “Big Cc Field”
Into the location, paste the above code
Save the bookmark

Now when at Gmail and you can see the Cc or Bcc fields you can click the new Bookmark link to make them bigger.

To find out more about Bookmarklets, check out the Bookmarklet page on Wikipedia.

You may have seen posts on newsgroups, in email etc where the poster references links in-line with numbers in square brackets, and then at the end of the post provides a list of URL’s referenced above. This serves to keep the links out of the main body of the message the content of the message, making it easier to read. I got bored one night and thus “The Referencizer” was born. All you have to do is type in your URL’s and watch your content get “referencized” as you go.
