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 | --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. Cheers, -- Eric Schulte http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte/
