I put together a couple of patches that should fix the problems that were caused by the recent User Interface changes to Gmail. I hope to bundle full updates for both plugins soon, but I figure this would help get folks back up and running in the event that I don't manage to roll out the updates quickly...

Update: As user Ed noted, it seems that there are problems when sending attachments greater than 500kb or so (the exact threshold is still foggy and may actually be 1 MB). My wife was able to reproduce this today. Unfortunately, it seems the error goes undetected and the plugins will report that the email was successfully sent. However, they will not show up in your sent messages nor will the recipient get the email. I have not been able to find the source of the problem, but I am guessing it is also due to the current transition to the newer version of Gmail. We'll see what develops.
Update 2: I have tracked down the sending problems to a time-out issue with the new Gmail Javascript. The bad news is that the size of attachments you can send is entirely dependent on your internet connection's upload bandwidth. The good news is that I have been working hard and have completely re-written the mail sending portion of the plugins. I have quite a bit more testing to do, but I'm very close to a release for iPhoto2Gmail. Aperture2Gmail is a bit further behind, but should come up to speed soon.
If you'd like to beta test, leave a note in the comment, send me an email or start a thread in the new google group.
Thanks!

after I used the patch the iPhoto2Gmail plug-in seemed to resume functionality (OS X 10.4.10, iPhoto '06). Prior to the patch it was erroneously reporting that the messages had been sent, indeed when they had not. So yes, so far it seems to be working again, thanks!

You're welcome. Be sure to read the updates to this post. Also, the next versions should do much better at detecting when your email was not sent off successfully. Thanks for the feedback!
I've used your Aperture2Gmail plug in for awhile. I'm happy to help beta test the new version when you are at that point. Thanks for developing it. You can email me at (concatenate) J Austin 42 @ (at) g mail. (dot) com if you would like me to help you test.
have you considered using javas for the mail part?
