I have been using both also and there are some things in Beer Smith that's not in ProMash or at least I haven't found. Like a brewlog sheet, being able to e-mail a recipe or even copy and paste. If you can do that in ProMash I wish someone would tell me..
I don't know of a way to e-mail a recipe other than to attach the *.rec file to an e-mail. I think using BeerXML format is a big plus for BrewSmith (coming from a Promash user). I'm not sure what you mean by brewlog sheet, but it's definitely possible to print your Promash session information into a text or html file and print it for brewing reference...I do this every batch even though I frequently have a laptop with me. Also, if you go into the print menu you can select 'copy to clipboard' and you can then paste anywhere...for example...
