This mentioning of the SendTo folder brings back an idea I had a few 
days ago:

How about implementing per-file-type menus, by having subdirectories in 
the SendTo folder named <type>/<subtype> with executables, appdirs and 
symlinks in them.

E.g in <CHOICES>/SendTo/text you have:

Xless
Edit

in <CHOICES>/SendTo/text/html you have:

netscape
mozilla
bluefish

Then, if you chose SendTo for an html file, the menu would show all five 
entries, whereas for files of type text/<anything> only the first two 
entries would be shown

Entries directly in SendTo would apply to all files

Would that be cool? Methinks yes!
