What I want to be able to do is keep a copy of my email in an org-mode file. This file could be in datebook format, or just a list, especially if I can tag each email using org-mode tags. The solutions I have seen for using org-mode for email seem convoluted, complicated. I don't need any complicated html mail, just to start up a mail buffer from org-mode---say, from a todo item, write the email, and automatically leave a copy of the email behind when I am done. Perhaps a capture method would be useful, referring to bbdb for a lookup, although that's another layer of complexity. The beauty of org-mode is simplicity: simple text files. Am I missing something?
