Re: emacsclient command line use existing client

Ok. I did the following tests:

- Tried your script. From Firefox, it doesn't seem to run at all. From the command-line, it opens TWO emacs windows, one in a blank  "server" buffer and another with the email I want. Both are connected to the correct server, though. 
- My old script (as listed below) does exactly what it should from the command line; it's, apparently, just from Mozilla that it creates a new server.
