I can see that it would be very useful for composing complicated email. But I have what I think is actually a much simpler problem: *sending* email from an org-file. I have in mind something like: #+TYP_TODO: EMAIL SENT WAITING | DONE * Broadcasting project ** EMAIL What is the optimal frequency? :PROPERTIES: :To: kenneth@example.com :END: Dear Ken- Could you please let me know when you've made progress on computing the optimal frequency? Thanks, -Ethan Then a transition in workflow state from EMAIL to WAITING would cause (perhaps via org-mime) the construction of an email From: ligon@are.berkeley.edu To: kenneth@example.com Subject: What is the optimal frequency?

Thanks, -Ethan which would then be automagically fed into an SMTP client for delivery. Critically, one would *not* need to interrupt one's work flow in order to go mess around with a mail client; a simple \C-c\C-t or similar would send the email on its way. Or very possibly there's an obvious way to accomplish a similar end that hasn't occurred to me. Maybe the act of composing an email in a mail buffer could also format and re-file the message in an org-file, leading to a workflow similar to what one gets with org-capture? Any further thoughts welcome! Thanks, -Ethan
