Request that TB is to support the extended MAPI standard to allow to send a message via TB from third party application.

E.g. a very simple Python script which would allow to send a message.

session = False 
try:
    session = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch ("MAPI.Session")
except:
    print 'Probably no extended MAPI client installed'
    raise
    return
    
try:
    session.Logon("")

    newMsg = session.Outbox.Messages.Add(subject, message)

    if tos:
        for to in tos:
            newMsg.Recipients.Add(to[0], to[1], mapi.MAPI_TO)
    if ccs:
        for cc in ccs:
            newMsg.Recipients.Add(cc[0], cc[1], mapi.MAPI_CC)
    if bccs:
        for bcc in bccs:
            newMsg.Recipients.Add(bcc[0], bcc[1], mapi.MAPI_BCC)
            
    if attachments:
        for attachment in attachments:
            newMsg.Attachments.Add(attachment)

    newMsg.Send()

    session.DeliverNow()
finally:
    if session:
        # Outlook really dislikes if session is not closed
        session.Logoff()

In the end it's implementing the same thing.
