Hi Chris,
As an aside, I hope you've filed a bug report asking for a system-provided e-mail sending framework that sends messages via the user's preferred mail client? Sending them direct isn't ideal because it won't work if the user's Internet connection is down, and trying to grab their settings from Keychain isn't going to work very well for people using Eudora or Thunderbird or some such.
Our software relies on a framework we built that uses AppleScript to drive some of the popular mail clients (not Thunderbird though - no AppleScript support AFAICT); this avoids the whole problem, but sadly it isn't possible to send rich e-mail this way through most clients. If you're interested, you can grab it here: <http://www.coriolis-systems.com/opensource/>
Kind regards,
Alastair.
