Thanks for prompting me to be more precise. When my OS starts I launch a server with the autostart `emacs-client` command, and have the line in my .emacs to ensure the server is started. As it should, opening any number of new frames (or launching emacs-client again) will share the same buffer list, etc. However, this shell script for launching an email (apparently) starts a new server; it isn't sharing anything with the other frames, and if I don't `kill-emacs` I end up with two servers running. Clearly, not acceptable.
