Description of problem: This is a feature request for nautilus-sendto to provide additional options on the command line. The purpose of this is to allow for a tool to be created to send an email using the default mail client. nautilus-sendto has related bug 659762 which blocks this bug from being worked on, but if it's fixed, one could conceivably create a Nautilus context menu entry that can be statically set up to run this command: nautilus-sendto --send-as email --send-to support@mycompany.com $* The end result would be a user could in just a couple of clicks send a file to a predetermined recipient right from a Nautilus window. Ideally, the other options such as Bluetooth sendto and Brasero compilation could be built into this command. The appropriate alternative to this method is xdg-email to send this, but it can't handle attachments. I am filing a separate bug for that and I will place a comment in this bug referring to that one. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-sendto-2.28.2-3.el6.x86_64
xdg-utils bugs: 659782 659786 To clarify, if you specify an attachment for Thunderbird with xdg-email, an error is displayed.

This would be a feature request to be considered upstream. This isn't going to get added to RHEL 6, sorry.
