Oh, OK.  But either that's just as much a problem in plain `emacs' as
in `emacs -Q', or it will normally be fixed by loading the init files.
That's what confused me.

I think it may be good enough to condition-case the sending function,
and if it fails inform the user that the buffer may be saved with C-x
C-w and then sent in any way the user normally uses to send files by
mail.
