Yes, exactly.  At this time, it would still be a lot of work to
make gnucash auto-launch an email client, and the user still has 
a reasonable work-around.   Much as i'd like to have a slick 'email
this' button in gnucash, I think that the gnome-desktop has not yet
provided sufficient tools to make this possible.
