no because --eval would require a valid elisp expression such as

  emacsclient --eval (message-mailto "%u")

which seems to go against the specification constraint. I thought about
using something like the following:

  emacsclient --function message-mailto-reading-cli-args %u

And message-mailto-reading-cli-args would read command-line-args-left or
similar to do its job.

This requires adding these features to emacsclient and implementing
message-mailto-reading-cli-args.
