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.
