It seems to me that the code added by Erik Faye-Lund in 33b2e81f84875bf515b4c0de830eeddfd04227dc and this new code in "send-email: handle Windows paths for display just like we do for processing" by bert could both be replaced by:

    use File::Spec::Functions qw(file_name_is_absolute);
    file_name_is_absolute($some_path);

And by doing so we'd also be compatible with e.g. VMS. Can the people with the odd non-Unix systems maybe try this out and see if it works? :)
