Agreed.  We need something better.

Popping up a different mailer is not a problem: it's what mailclient is
supposed to do.  The problem is that it comes into play much too late:
mailclient should not be an MTA function but a MUA function.

I.e. not a send-mail-function value but a mail-user-agent value.
Of course, the problem is that `compose-mail' assumes the
mail-user-agent is "inside Emacs", so we need to introduce a new
function that makes fewer assumptions.
