Smile Cutting text from one location to another

The following text appears multiple times in a script and it resides in many scripts.
I would like to make the following changes to the text:

Text:
/usr/local/bin/gmail -t abc@yahoo.com -m "this is a test" -f xyz@yahoo.com

I need to cut the text that comes after -m which is "this is a test" and place it in front of the line with echo statment.
I think Awk will not work as -m will not be in the same column everytime.

final result:

echo "this is a test" | /usr/local/bin/gmail -t abc@yahoo.com -m -f xyz@yahoo.com

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
