Yes, as far as I know.

You can’t do this in a way that supports all mail clients, because there isn’t 
a common API they all implement for this. You can probably use AppleScript to 
drive Mail to do this. I don’t know whether any other mail clients support the 
same suite of AppleEvents.

(And anyway, in my experience the majority of people who don’t use Apple Mail 
are using a web-based client like Gmail or Hotmail; in that case there isn’t 
any local app you could talk to to send a message.)
