I'm sorry, I should have probably explained this a little better.
Nobody is trying to gut nautilus-sendto, the goal is to have something
working nicely for the use case of sending a file to somebody. As far
as I can see, the Email option is really the only interesting one
working correctly for nautilus-sendto at the moment, and that's where
the patch came from.

Note that nautilus-sendto has two parts: the module itself and a
Nautilus extension that adds the item to the context menus. Only the
extension lives in the nautilus source tree right now; I cannot really
answer the question about whether it's used by other modules, probably
Bastien would know. Of course, the nautilus change doesn't make any
sense without the corresponding change that removes the dialog in
nautilus-sendto, so probably Bastien should send an UI freeze request
for that first?

I should also note that this is not a high priority bug for me, and
it's also completely fine if we decide it's better to punt such a
change to the next cycle.

Thanks,
Cosimo
