Hi, all
Would you like to share your configuration of how to compose mails by org-mode.
I start org-mode by M-x org-mode, and found it not appelling at all.

Org-mode is not a mail mode. It certainly would not be suitable as a
major mode for composing mail.
Are you perhaps referring to using org for tables and plain lists in
mail messages? In that case you can activate a couple of minor modes
(orgtbl-mode, orgstruct-mode) by hooking them into your major mail
mode.
Instructions can be found here:

I do frequently, however, write notes and things in org and then mail
them out later. I either export them using org-export of type ascii,
for example.

Yes, you are right. Forgive me if I somehow implied that org mode could
not slice and dice any type of plain text. Anything and everything goes
into my org files. :)
I got the impression, however, that the OP was typing M-x org-mode while
composing a mail in mail-mode or message-mode. I think the correct
approach would be to activate the minor modes (orgstruct-mode,
orgtbl-mode).
Best,
Matt
