This is what I have so far:

Answer 1

I asked a more specific question which has led me to an answer. I am now using PHPMailer to build the message. I then extract the raw message from the PHPMailer object. Example:

require_once 'class.phpmailer.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->CharSet = "UTF-8";
$subject = "my subject";
$msg = "hey there!";
$from = "myemail@gmail.com";
$fname = "my name";
$mail->From = $from;
$mail->FromName = $fname;
$mail->AddAddress("tosomeone@somedomain.com");
$mail->AddReplyTo($from,$fname);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body    = $msg;
$mail->preSend();
$mime = $mail->getSentMIMEMessage();
$m = new Google_Service_Gmail_Message();
$data = base64_encode($mime);
$data = str_replace(array('+','/','='),array('-','_',''),$data); // url safe
$m->setRaw($data);
$service->users_messages->send('me', $m);
