[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 790 bytes --] I frequently compose e-mails as subtrees of my org files. I'd like to be able to e-mail the contents of these subtrees, maybe by first viewing the subtree in an indirect buffer. My org files look like this: * e-mails ** note to person about blah To: person@blah.com Subject: ADD people 7 times more likely to be creative --text follows this line-- Dear Person, Blah blah blah. Best, Peter I can open the subtree in an indirect buffer, but I can't e-mail the contents as they appear because I get "Invalid header line." If I delete the org-header, I can successfully send the e-mail. But then I need to undelete the header afterward. How can I send the contents of a subtree as an e-mail without first having to delete the header? Thanks, Peter [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 1138 bytes --]

It converts the current subtree to an email, pulling email headers from subtree properties, specifically MAIL_SUBJECT or subtree heading -> subject MAIL_TO -> TO MAIL_CC -> CC MAIL_BCC -> BCC MAIL_FMT -> determines the format of the email (e.g., org, ascii or html) so your example above would be ** note to person about blah :PROPERTIES: :MAIL_TO: person@blah.com :MAIL_SUBJECT: ADD people 7 times more likely to be creative :END: Dear Person, Blah blah blah.
