[Dev] Dispatching "send"?

[Donn Denman]

Bryan,

The way I slice the problem is:
1) Finding the Item to operate upon
2) Either enabling the button, or performing the button action

John will have to help you with #1, but I can help with #2:  Once you 
have the item, it knows how to send itself by calling the shareSend() 
method on it.  You can also use the presence of that method to decide 
if you should enable the button.
