Sorry, I cannot parse that. Too dense today, I guess.

No, it doesn't. One of the options offered when you are about to send
is to use your system's mailclient.

But the above has no relation to focus-follows-mouse.
mouse-autoselect-window works when the Emacs frame already has focus,
and it selects one window on that frame by tracking mouse movements
above the frame. (Yes, I know that the last sentence makes it sound
like the two features are related, but that is only true on some
systems. E.g., here focus-follows-mouse is nil, the default, whereas
the window manager is configured to give focus to the frame where
mouse is; and yet mouse-autoselect-window does work.
So I think you should set mouse-autoselect-window to t, move the mouse
between windows, then show the output of "C-h l". Then we might have
some hint wrt what's going on.
Thanks.
