What you do is simulate dead-easy server side functionality in a very
complex way on the client side. Just imagining the amount of cookies
going back and forth makes me dizzy. Personally I would never walk
that way. What about users without JavaScript? What about visitors
using a public computer or a colleague's machine? Should they send
mails from the other email client?
