Two Contextual Menu commands I made can deal with this:

"Open text in Textmate" puts the selected or clipboard text in a temp 
file and opens it in TM.
"New TextMate file here w/Clipboard" make a new file where you 
triggered it, lets you choose the name of the file and opens it in TM.

These commands (and others) are in the repository, instructions are in 
the readme.

Unlike services, you can't have a KB shortcut to trigger CM, but you 
can make a droplet with it.

If it's only in Mail.app you can make an Applescript put it in 
"~/Library/Scripts/Mail Scripts" and assign a shortcut to it by adding 
something like "___ctl-Y.scpt" at the end of the script's name (This 
can be done only for Mail.app... weird).
