Limiting to the one aspect of this email towards which I may have
something useful to contribute.  One option for text email is to use
org-mime from contrib/lisp/org-mime.el and then structure a subtree as
follows...

,----
| * send this to eric
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :mail_to:  eric.schulte@foo.bar
|   :END:
| 
| Here is an Org-mode email which will be sent to me.
| 
| | 1 |
| | 2 |
| | 3 |
| | 4 |
| 
| 
`----

calling org-mime-subtree from within that subtree will result in a
message buffer holding the following (modulo your gnus/message setup)

,----
| To: eric.schulte@foo.bar
| Subject: send this to eric
| X-Draft-From: ("org-mode" 2692)
| From: Eric Schulte <eric.schulte@foo.bar>
| --text follows this line--
| Here is an Org-mode email which will be sent to me.
| 
| | 1 |
| | 2 |
| | 3 |
| | 4 |
`----

By default the resulting email is text generated using (I believe)
org-export-as-org.

The desire to separate searching from agenda views makes perfect sense
to me.  I've never used the searching features of Org-mode myself.  I
suppose I use rgrep when digging through my Org-mode ~/notes/recipes.
