I don't think `mailclient-send-it' is a very satisfactory solution for
sending email.  It pops up a different mailer, and the user has to take
actions there, too, to actually send the mail.

And it doesn't support MIME, so you can't add attachments, and so on.

mailclient makes Emacs into a second-rate mail client, which seems
unfortunate as a default.
