I think the idea has a value.  Also a command line client for Evolution 
would make possible:

	* Use the user configured mail delivery system (sendmail,
 	  exchang or smtp server).

	* Allow for attachments to be sent and properly encoded.

	* File the outgoing mail in a `Sent' folder, and apply
	  any other interesting outgoing rules.
