Golded allows configuring hot keys for running different programs or scripts. I
use Ctrl-N to send netmail and Ctrl-E to send echomail without leaving golded.
There are such lines in my golded.cfg:

; repack netmail on Ctrl-N
ExternUtil 1 /path/to/setflag repack

; rescan echomail on Ctrl-E
ExternUtil 2 /path/to/setflag rescan

The setflag script creates a flag file, which initiates packing netmail or
scanning message base for new echomail. And in goldkeys.cfg I have

^N   ExternUtil01
^E   ExternUtil02
