Well, we cant do much about non-gnome apps anyway. But the folder would
be in your home dir anyway, so it is reasonably easy to find it.

Well. You right open "My Docs" folder in nautilus, right click the file
and select "Scripts -> "Compress file with gzip"[1]

Then you right click the file again -> "Scripts -> Send via email..."
and up pops Evolution composer with the file attached.[2]

[1] "Compress with gzip" script can be made as follows for example:

        ---
        #!/bin/sh
        gzip -9 $*
        ---

[2] Currently this is not yet possible with Evolution, but this would be
the Right Way to do things. I could whip together a script to send the
mail, but I want the sent mail to be recorded in my "Sent" folder in the
mailer too. So we'd need "evolution-remote --attach [filename]" to make
this work.
