I almost wonder if you could have it use an HTML form, rather than and email
application.  Have it pop up a browser with an HTML form, then use one of
the form-mail cgi scripts to send it, these check for proper formatting.
The only problem is to work out the attached file part of this..

> Zeum has a sound lab exhibit where visitors create tracks with a simple
> mixing program.  The program has an "email" button which creates a new email
