Definitely: I have the following shell-script (suggestions welcome) that
I found on some webpage somewhere (~/.emacs.d/gnus-mailto.sh):

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/emacsclient -e "(message-mail \"$1\")"

and then in MozEx I enter "/home/joel/.emacs.d/gnus-mailto.sh %a" in the
"Mailer: " field, and check the "intercept mail clicks" box.

I must say that I've been using emacs-w3m for almost everything, and
I rarely start Firefox anymore.

The script could probably be redone in Elisp, too.
