They are, but eg Gnome offers a function for the default mail client to
be invoked, abstracting away the differences.

I disagree. You would not have access to address books. You would also
not have access to a users configured mail servers. And sending the
stuff from a local computer via SMTP directly leads to a world of pain:
- company and ISP firewalls blocking SMTP traffic
- Spam filters killing mails that original not from "official" mail
servers belonging to a domain, or that kill mails when sent from IP
addresses known to belong to ADSL ranges, etc.

No, you don't want that.
