I want a script that will create a new e-mail message.  The catch:  
various people are using Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Entourage, webmail,  
Gmail.

Is there a way to find out what a user's default e-mail client is? (I  
know it's in Mail's preferences, but there must be a better way)?

Or, is there a way to simply invoke the default client, the way  
Filemaker does?

I know I could use sendmail, but the user has to be able to compose  
the message, maybe add attachments.
