I have eased the problem with some Emacs Lisp.  The following is in my .emacs:

(global-set-key "\C-x\C-g" 'gmail)
(setq gmail-temp-file (make-temp-file "gmail"))
(defun gmail-enter ()
  "Visit gmail-temp-file, delete all text in it, yank the X
clipboard, delete trailing whitespace, go to beginning of
buffer."
(interactive)
(find-file gmail-temp-file)
(delete-region (point-min) (point-max))
(clipboard-yank)
(delete-trailing-whitespace)
(goto-char (point-min)))

(defun gmail-leave ()
"Copy the whole buffer to the X clipboard, kill it."
(interactive)
(clipboard-kill-ring-save (point-min) (point-max))
(save-buffer)
(kill-buffer))

(defun gmail (prefix)
  "Without prefix argument: call gmail-enter.
With prefix argument: call gmail-leave"
  (interactive "P")
  (if prefix
      (gmail-leave)
    (gmail-enter)))

Did I do anything wrong?
