Hmm my problem with this patch is that the summary isn't really supposed
to link directly to the mailer.  The fact that
mail_config_get_account_by_source_uri() works is just because we are
using in-proc components...

The right way to do it would be to add a way to retrieve the necessary
information to Mail.idl, and modify summary and mail accordingly.
