OK, I need to read some more about mailto handlers. I dipped my toe in this while trying to figure out how to move away from the my old applescript methods, but I kind of got stuck.

I've no real desire to use NSSharingService. If I find a way to reliably send a mail (with attachments) then I'll be most delighted.
