It works fine from a shell (without a window-system) and on other
systems (as long as the defined mail client, i.e. mailto:// URL
handler doesn't require one). That is, provided the function
`message-send-mail-function' is only used to initialize the variable
of the same name. The default should be `mailclient' only on specific
systems - at least on Windows and probably on the Mac as well.
Reiner should know more.
