I'm a bit worried that $MAILER my interfere with historical uses of the same. (E.g. it could 
point to a command line mailer like mutt or something)

It might be worth introducing $XDG_MAILER, trying to configure KDE to use evolution as 
default mailer for example seems pretty much impossible for mortals: you have to enter 
"gnome-open %u" in the Email Client Component Chooser 
 
The other option is to document these montrocities
