How about inserting as ascii (just change the `(setq text...' lines)? (add-hook 'message-mode-hook (lambda () (let (text) (with-current-buffer (other-buffer) (when (region-active-p) (setq text (org-export-region-as-ascii (region-beginning) (region-end) t 'string)))) (when text (end-of-buffer) (insert text))))) This inserts the ascii export.

I too have been looking for this functionality for a while, so here's a quick solution. When called on an Org-mode subtree, the following function makes the headline the subject, exports the subtree to ascii, and uses properties ("MAIL_TO", "MAIL_CC", "MAIL_BCC") to specify the addressees: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (defun my-org-subtree-to-message () (interactive) (unless (eq major-mode 'org-mode) (error "Not in org buffer")) (let ((subject (nth 4 (org-heading-components))) (to (org-entry-get nil "MAIL_TO")) (cc (org-entry-get nil "MAIL_CC")) (bcc (org-entry-get nil "MAIL_BCC")) text) (save-excursion (org-mark-subtree) ;; don't include title in body (forward-line) (setq text (org-export-region-as-ascii (point) (mark) t 'string))) (message-mail to subject `((cc . ,cc) (bcc . ,bcc)) nil) (when text (save-excursion (goto-char (point-max)) (insert text))))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- With this function, you can compose emails like this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * My obsequious missive :PROPERTIES: :MAIL_TO: highly_esteemed@gentlemen.net :MAIL_BCC: peasants_united@plebeians.org :END: My most noble sirs, I thank you for gracing this world with your beauteous presence.

I've already mimicked your function to set subjects of outgoing emails to match the title of the org-mode buffer. I think that generalizing the org-mime functions to operate over either subtrees or whole files, and to output either html or plain text should cover all use cases with maximal code re-use. Thanks for sharing this function.

This sounds perfect. So now a *subtree* or *org buffer* can be send as *org*, *ascii or *html*. Right? I just would like to suggest two more things: 1) to be able to mail the subtree or buffer as an attached pdf. Thinking of it, this could also be used for the other formats which result in one file, e.g. ascii, taskjuggle and I think all others except of the html? 2) the format of the inline text (and the attached one?) could be specified as a property, as a property - this would make sending the email consistent. And I must say, I really like the subtree option - now we just need a function to import an email into org, and one could use an org file to manage email conversations...

Two additional suggestions: 1. The subject line should be exported as ascii also, to avoid funky orgmode markup messing things up (I often have links in my headlines, for example). 2. Could we get some indication that the subtree's been mailed? I'm thinking of having org-mime-subtree set a property MAIL_SENT to a time stamp or perhaps to the message id. This way, if we inspect the subtree later we'll know if and when it was actually sent. A possible bonus if we use the message id: when we get to the point of getting replies *back* into the org file it'll be possible to thread things properly. -Ethan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 38+ messages in thread

I guess too that that name is better. FYI, when I'm M-x'ing org-mime-subtree: - it opens a message mode buffer, but slightly different from the one I have if I do `m' in Gnus: + no Organization field, + no signature + etc. (I'm using `gnus-alias' for handling on-the-fly personality change) - after `C-c C-c', it writes it's sent, but then opens Thunderbird!? I'll have a look at these features.

Do you mean to set the title of an > Org-mode file as the subject of an email? Yes, exactly. Sending a subtree in text, with its headline used as =Subject=. And maybe setting accordingly the =To=, =Cc=, =BCc=, if such are in the PROPERTY drawer? Not that important, but something that could be used quite often...

I encourage anyone who is interested to take a look at org-mime and try their hand at improving it. I'm strapped for time at the moment and probably wont have time to take a look at it, but I do plan to make improvements in the long term.
