Of course you can use mail functionality from something else (Java Mail
or something from other environments), but you need a UNO wrapper around
it, otherwise you can't call it from OOo Basic.

BTW: we had direct SMTP support in a very early alpha stage of OOo1.0,
but then we discovered that sending mails without later access to what
you have sent is not a good idea, but OTOH we didn't want to implement
an outbox in OOo. So handing over mail functionality to the system mail
client was the best choice.

Unfortunately we didn't offer access to the mail body even on the
platform where it could be possible: Windows. On Windows we are using
MAPI and this interface allows to specify a body. On other platforms
(that lack a system mail interface) we use mailto or command line
interfaces and here no access to the body is possible (IIRC, but I might
be wrong).

Best regards,
Mathias
