Gmail adds 'reply by chat' feature

Mike Sego posted on the Google Blog yesterday that a slick new 'reply by chat' feature has been added to Gmail. Now, if you want to reply to a message and the original sender is online, a 'reply by chat' button will be right next to the now old 'n busted regular reply button. To top things off, the chat history will be saved right in line with the conversation. Awesome.
