Ah, so the app is Nautilus. I have my email set for SeaMonkey
(System|Preferred Applications|Mail
Reader|Custom:Command:/home/<username>/SeaMonkey2/seamonkey/seamonkey
-compose) and if I right click a file in Nautilus|Send To|Evolution it
does open the SeaMonkey mail compose window.

I just tested with Thunderbird:
'/home/<username>/Thunderbird3/thunderbird/thunderbird -compose' and
that works as well.

Only bug I see is that the Nautilus|Send To| doesn't have a dropdown for
'Custom'. And a search for that probably will turn one up:
