I probably have been jumping to conclusions based on a too cursory look
at browse-url.el. I will do a more proper investigation on my mac when I
get home and report back.

I didn't mean any disrespect to the approach. I think I have seen others
referring to it as a hack, even an unpretty one, but I am personally
fine with it. 

I should perhaps also state for the record that this is not about
helping me personally; I have something that works now. 

As I see it, the issue is with the default behaviour for which we have
the goal of providing as robustly as possible a means of sending an
email such that even a novice with an unconfigured emacs on darwin can
send back a bug report.
