Still somewhat problematic given the non-uniformity of support for
things like attachments, or unspecified recipients.  For example in
gnumeric I kludge up an attempt to support 'File -> Send To'
That will attempt to save the current content to a tmp file, and
launch a mailer without a recipient with the file as an attachment.
The evo syntax for that does not work with mutt or pine.

This is an area that needs work.
