Maybe there should not be a
"default-configed-mailer-I-didn't-even-know-was-there". How about the
following UI (modulo wording)?

#darcs send -a
Creating patch to [destination repo]...
I see you haven't configured 'sendmail-command' in ~/.darcs/config
I don't know how to send this bundle, saving it as bundle.dpatch for now.
NOTE: You may use your mail client to send this bundle.
NOTE: If you want 'darcs send' to send a mail directly, add the line
send sendmail-command COMMAND
to your ~/.darcs/config
#


#darcs send -a --sendmail-command foo
[current UI]

Alternatively, the UI when sendmail-command is unset could be:
#darcs send -a
Creating patch to [destination repo]...

Do you want me to try 'sendmail' (I'll cc you so that you can see if the
mail was sent ok)? [Yn]
