I think people use the envelope concept because it is fast and easy  
for the sender.  When you finish writing the document, you save it  
and then from a pulldown menu select "send document."  Your email  
application opens up and you push send.

So, how can we make it easy to send text to another person?

Traditional
========
cmd+a
cmd+tab
cmd+v into mail program

Quicksilver
=========
cmd+a
send to  quicksilver + send

(limitations: you need quicksilver and everything in the body is  
pasted in the subject)

Other thoughts?
