Celeste - squeak attachments

Dear Squeakers,

What about implementing some special handling for squeak material. For
instance attaching a morph to an email, sending it to some squeakers, they
can get it out of Celeste immediately without first saving it.

I'm thinking about ChangeSets and fileOuts (emailOuts), but in particular
(Book)Morphs.

As far as I understand matters this would entail:
  - having appropriate Mime-types,
  - handling these specially in Celeste.
  - using SmartRefStream or something similar for non-textmaterial (= morphs)

This will be particularly nice if one simply D&D's a morph into (a
particular part of) Celeste, the reciever D&D's it out into the local world.
Perhaps an item in the BookMorph-menu, "mail it", that opens a Postman with itself
as an attachment, is also a good idea.

My apologies for not simply implementing the stuff, I'm not yet up to
speed with this excellent development team.
