First off: Gmail may just trigger this on actual subscription double-opt in emails. They possibly don’t intend to display this on account signup confirmations, I’m not too sure.

There was a button just like on the screenshot that after clicking on sent the confirmation to them.
See the [Source file of this mail](https://gist.github.com/Moter8/8dc2adf7ea4a328e34b4), scroll to the bottom to the scheme divs.

Also look Google’s [documentation](https://developers.google.com/gmail/markup/reference/one-click-action) about this and a [Mailchimp Blog post](http://blog.mailchimp.com/gmails-inbox-actions-work-with-mailchimp/) about the matter.

This is a good idea and looks quite easy to add. I’d love a PR for it.

Hopefully it’s not hijacking this idea because it’s quite related, but a similar [ViewAction button](https://developers.google.com/gmail/markup/reference/go-to-action#view_action) for View on $site\_name would be good to encourage email users to get on to the web site.

Yeah that too! Having a similar button to these “View Issue” ones from Github would be absolutely great 😃
