I suppose you're digging in the wrong hole here - it's not "the system" that fails here, but the application. As long as not all mail clients/web browsers etc. use a common command line template or at least show analog keywords to the cli, the OS can't do much about it.
In principle broadblues' ARexx script is more or less exactly that: a common cli template that translates the input for the different needs of each client. You might bugger the authors of SimpleMail and YAM to change their applications. But be warned: A lot of older user scripts may fail afterwards - which will generate new moanings...
