Hi, first of all let me tell you that automatic substitutions don't work in
Gmail, so you would have to apply the substitution manually every time (i.e.
having it in the list and applying the list).
Then, if the problem is that it doens't replace the link even manually, that's
a different thing. To replace links you have to either check the checkbox to
replace URLs or either use HTML substitutions. With this, your second example
should work.
To change the entire string you should use a regular expression, something like
this: "&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=.{20}" (change the 20 with the actual number of
characters in the "xxxx" part).

Thanks for the reply, appreciated.
Thought I'd add I think I remember getting it to work automatically (on load)
with Gmail, at least for removing the first part of the links for the
redirects, I was just having trouble removing the last variable part. Perhaps
it worked due to me not allowing google.com scripts. I can't check right now to
be 100% certain it works in that situation because I've since found a Firefox
addon that automatically removes all redirects and don't want to
uninstall/reinstall test etc.
I ended up going with that addon rather than this due to the way Youtube is
doing it's redirects (though apparently not all people are getting them),
youtube displays the correct link until it's clicked/opened in a new tab, then
changes the link URL on the youtube page to now reflect the redirect, so I
couldn't get this to help me on youtube, though I might not have tried hard
enough.
Anyway just thought I'd reply, and found a way to avoided the google/youtube
redirects which annoy me to no end.
Cheers.

If you don't allow google.com scripts then I suppose Gmail was in it's "basic
HTML version" and this way automatic substitutions should work, as you say.
They just don't work with AJAX.
Thanks for responding that you have found a solution, so I can close this issue
now.
