This tool involves switching to Emacs to compose a message body, while doing all of your mail interactions with the web interface. Once composing is done, the content is sent to the browser. Optionally, you can write in markdown, processing that before the hand-off back to the browser.

It would be possible to eliminate the back-and-forth jumping, just doing everything in Emacs, using the recently-announced Gmail API[1]. To the author, is this something you've considered doing? I'd use something like that.

This actually sounds nice and not too difficult. Thanks for pointing it out. Unfortunately, I barely have time to improve my existing packages anymore, let alone create new ones.

So yes, it is something I've considered, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

Me too. Sounds like a great side project for somebody.
