Davis" , org-mode Hi! You could try doing something with org-capture and the org-capture-template= s so that you would be creating your email from the start as an org tree en= try under the appropriate location. You can override the org-capture-before= -finalize hook (see org-capture.el) to send the mail when you're done typin= g in the indirect buffer and hit C-c C-c (or org-capture-finalize). I have org-capture set up so I can use it immediately from anywhere in Emac= s with the C-cc keys: (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)=20 That combined with a suitable template and the hook override might give you= what you're looking for. Hope this helps!
