Merlin Mann made his own 'compose email' app using automator: http://www.kungfugrippe.com/post/45763194525/compose-gmail-message http://www.kungfugrippe.com/post/45763194525/compose-gmail-m... . Basically you launch it, it jumps straight to the blank compose window (nothing else), and closes when you hit send. That's it. I try use it for the times when I don't want to see my email, but need to email something.
