GMail works with Thunderbird and probably any other IMAP client, since
GMail provides mail service with the standard, IMAP:

Using a web browser is a different matter.  To launch firefox into gmail
and directly into the compose function, put this in OOo:
 /usr/bin/firefox 'https://mail.google.com/mail/h/?v=b&pv=tl&cs=b'

Find it under the menus:
        Tools->Options->Internet->E-mail->E-mail program

Be sure to note the single quotes there.

I've forgotten enough CGI and multi-part forms that the answer to the
attachments is not obvious.  It's probably doable.

PS.  If people are sending attachments, then there is some failure in
the workplace's technical infrastructures ability to support the work
flow.  Attachments are not an appropriate substitute for a proper
networked filesystem.

PPS.  OOo takes care of this automatically: Launching thunderbird to
compose a new mail is done like this:
 /usr/bin/thunderbird -mail -compose
and with an attachment
 thunderbird -mail -compose "attachment=file:///temp/foo"
