Linux users (X) might be interested in this little script which I call
from the extension above:

,----
| wmctrl -a emacs
| source ~/bin/emacs.bash
| edit $1
`----

wmctrl brings emacs to the foreground and the emacs.bash is a copy of
the bash script which defines edit() to use emacs client or start emacs
as appropriate. Edit as appropriate.

Caveat : When using with gmail for example set gmail up to use "basic
html" or it wont work.
