I use (experimental versions of) GnuMAPI.dll and gnu-mapi.el for these
tasks -- see short description below.

Both programs are written by Syver Enstad who wanted to publish them
last year. I haven't heard of him since then but will try to contact
him to ask about publishing the programs.

With GnuMAPI, I can also use the "send to" function in e.g. Word or
Acrobat to send mails with vm instead of OE or Outlook. I actually
don't have OE nor Outlook installed on my machine.
