Adam Sjøgren's tip should work, but not using gnome or KDE, you need
to go into about:config in iceweasel. There are thorough instructions
in the starting commentary of "mozmail.el" somewhere in the lisp tree
(I'm on xemacs, so I don't know exactly how to find it under gnu
emacs).

Concerning gnuclient/emacsclient, it seems unbelievable that there
shouldn't be at least a similar service. Maybe you should try
gnu.emacs.help on that?
