That's not an option. I'd rather support more than less MUAs. Every MUA
I'm aware of supports at least the mailto: paramter which is sufficient
for rng's needs. The attachment option is *only* needed when the output
of the script gets too long (so the mailto:-link gets too long, so the
whole command gets too long for the shell) and therefore an attachment
would be more suitable. There is no way I remove support for certain
MUAs just because of this.

The most imporant MUA which doesn't seem to work is xdg-email in
combination with icedove set as default MUA (haven't tested others, but
I suppose there are lots of others).
