The "email button" comes right out of the Acrobat 6 JavaScript Scripting
Guide.
this.submitForm("mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]", true);
Simple as that. There are several other parameters, but TRUE makes the
attachment an FDF.
If I can use this as a work around, then why doesn't Adobe take the next
step and allow the user to save the FDF directly. The user doesn't need to
save the PDF itself if they can save the form field contents and re-import
them later. This would be great for Income Tax forms.

That's strange. I don't think Reader is supposed to do that.
What does your "email button" actually do??

Yes, Reader has always done this. However, keep in mind that
there is no way for a user of Reader to save the PDF with the field
data included (unless the PDF is "Reader Enabled").
