Sending mail via Gnus if Gnus is not running (?)

[Edi Weitz]

Hi!

I think that Gnus' facility for sending email (the one I get if I hit
the m key) is much nicer than the Emacs default via M-x mail - I can
attach files, non-ASCII characters like umlauts are taken care of, and
so on. However, I'm wondering how to access this functionality while
Gnus is not running. Is it possible to get this from outside of Gnus
somehow?

Thanks,
Edi.
