What version are you running? 1.7.6 What's the URL of the page this enhancement relates to, if any? email Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it. So Gmail has a thing called in app actions. Basically, like the buttons they have for google calendar where you can click to accept an event right from gmail. If we add some detail to the email, gmail will auto render these buttons. I think it would be a great idea to have a button (for starters) which takes you directly to reviewboard/diffs Documentation for implementation : https://developers.google.com/gmail/actions/actions/actions-overview (This will not affect emails on mobiles or any other platform, and will simply enhance the desktop experience) What operating system are you using? What browser? Mac OS X - chrome Please provide any additional information below. This works on all desktop browsers, and does not cause issues when not using gmail as email client

I spent a bunch of time looking into this before. It's an awesome feature that we can't provide. First, there's a registration process required to allow Gmail to show those buttons for your app. This requires that you meet some criteria in your mail server DNS and how you're sending e-mails. The way we send e-mails directly conflicts with their requirements, though. All e-mails would have to come from the same user account, which breaks the way we try to handle mapping Review Board discussions to e-mail threads. Basically, while something I'd love to support, it's very unlikely to happen unless Google changes how this works.
