On vaguely recent desktops following freedesktop.org , "xdg-email" should be a command that will open and populate a new mail in the user's "preferred email composer". xdg-email --subject foo --body bar address@hidden Emacs presumably could/should try to use that on gnu/linux... http://portland.freedesktop.org/wiki/XdgUtils http://portland.freedesktop.org/wiki/EmailConfig
How about a new `unconfigured-send-it', for use as the default `send-mail-function', which checks for the existence of xdg-email, and uses it if found. If not available, it could fall back on `sendmail-send-it'. Alternately we could modify `mailclient-send-it' to use xdg-email when it exists rather than browse-url (which will only work if browse-url-browser-function is set to an external program that recognizes mailto: URLs).
