Why not just use the user's configure email address (user.netmail in JS)?

You can, but it'd be better if you didn't. Use the various print methods
instead.

No, use prompt() or console.getstr() or something similar instead.

If it's configured as a DSZLOG protocol driver, you need to write to the file
with the correct info (and 0 errors) - else, just returning 0 indicates
successful download.

Try returning 0 from your script.

File attachments in email could be interesting... I can't think of any easy
examples, but I'd start with exec/sendmail.js.
