   I'm not using Gmail, so I may be wrong. But generally, if you are able to
construct URL, which gets you directly into Gmail compose screen, and as long,
as this URL allows to specify email adress somewhere, it should be doable.
Quick Google lookup shows something along the lines of short shellscript,
which - run instead of real mailer - could do the thing:

#!/bin/sh
in=$1
mail=${in##mailto:}
galeon -w "https://gmail.google.com/gmail?view=cm&tf=0&to=$mail"

   I repeat - I'm not using Gmail, so totally untested, use common sense and
tweak to your needs.
