Yes.  What you show above could be implemented as a very simple wrapper around 
tmail.  It would only save a handful of lines, though, over just using tmail 
directly and passing the tmail object to something like this for sending:

def send_mail(mail)
        Net::SMTP.start('smtp.myserver.com', 25, Socket.gethostname) {|smtp|
                smtp.send_message(mail.encoded, mail.from, mail.to)
        }
end
