Aren't most GNU/Linux distributions installing by default a mail
transfer agent like exim or postfix? Debian at least does this, and then
the plug-in works.

Maybe the solution would be to change the plug-in in order it calls the
preferred mail user agent, for example evolution or Thunderbird? This
would make it useful after all.
