How do I get other programs to invoke Evolution to send mail?
When using gnome apps and having the default mailer set to evolution the
programs using it (ie OpenOffice) just creates a new instance of Evol
without a new mail message?

Try to use
        evolution %r
in your application's preferences to start evolution.
Regarding Mozilla, I recommend to get the Mozex extension at
http://mozex.mozdev.org .

By the way, OpenOffice.org isn't a Gnome application.

What is the command line args for creating new mail in Evol?

that's a different issue, but you asked for it: ;-)

"How can I open up an email composer window from shell/console/terminal
prompt/commandline?"
The syntax for writing an email is for example
        evolution mailto:recipient example com?cc=cc@example.com\&subject=bla\&attach=/home/user/file.jpg
Make sure you escape
        &
by using a
        \
in front of it.

cheers,
andre
