Hi all
i find that i keep copy pasting food recipes (which i collect with org
obviously) to my email client and then sending it over to the phone to use
in the kitchen (which reminds Me really should get a emacs touch screen for
the kitchen..though my wife would get a stroke if she sees that
;-))..anyway, anyone knows how one (with almost none to zero elisp skills)
create such a function?
all i need is locate the recipe (header) and then send the header and sub
headers as text or pdf to my email
best!

You probably could use the function here https://github.com/jkitchin/jmax/blob/master/email.el#L51 for the email part after you find the heading you want to send. I think there is some code there to send a pdf too.

After getting some help from the list, I wrote a post about something
pretty close to what you want here:
http://matt.hackinghistory.ca/2015/07/15/mailing-subtrees-with-attachments/
There's a little more code there than you actually need, but some of it may
be helpful. Happy to answer questions, too.

thx both John and Matt
I went on and used johns function he recommended (since i needed a simple
text only export) and it works flawlessly :)
John: just a quick follow up though
with that function you kindly shred "email-heading " it opens up a buffer
and you insert the email address. is it possible to have a function that
sends to a prefixed email address (ie myself :)). also can the function
then just do it in the background without even opening the buffer? since i
want to send it to a prefixed email i dont really need to see it and press
C-c C-c.
This isnt really important so if its complicated please feel free to ignore
;-)
best

Just to add to the mess, here's something I've used before -- kind of a
poor man's mail merge, to send spam (not really spam!).
(defvar my-spam-sent-names nil
"Make sure that, even if we have to run this multiple times, people
don't get spammed more than once.")
(defun my-spam-headline ()
(org-narrow-to-subtree)
(cl-flet ((mp (p) (org-entry-get nil p t)))
(let* ((org-inhibit-logging t)
(file (buffer-file-name (current-buffer)))
(subject "Sign up for my stuff")
(name (mp "NAME"))
(to (mp "MAIL_TO"))
(from "Eric Abrahamsen <eric@ericabrahamsen.net>")
(salutation (mp "SALUTATION"))
(body (replace-regexp-in-string "XXXX" salutation letter-text t)))
(when (equal "PITCH" (mp "TODO"))
(unless (member name my-spam-sent-names)
(save-excursion
(org-mime-compose body 'html file (concat name " <" to ">")
subject `((from . ,from)))
(message-send-and-exit))
(push name my-spam-sent-names)
(org-todo "WAITING")))))
(setq org-map-continue-from (point-max))
(widen))
(defun my-spam-tree ()
(interactive)
(let ((letter-text "long string with XXXXs in it."))
(org-map-entries #'my-spam-subtree "TODO=\"PITCH\"" 'tree)))
