So it should be possible to use this with basic or python macros.
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).
