For instance, I see that I can enter an email address with the flag -m and

something that doesn't involve a GUI? 

No, you don't need to specify a program to send the mail.  mdadm
already knows to use sendmail.
The --program option is to specify a program that can do other things
with alerts from mdadm.  e.g. log them, page a sysadmin, send a
differently formatted email. etc.
