The first step is to export selected entries to text files:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun org-export-headings-to-ascii (&optional match scope)
  "Export headings from the current buffer to ascii files."
  (interactive)
  (org-map-entries
   (lambda ()
     (org-mark-subtree)
     (let ((head (org-get-heading))
	   (beg (point))
	   (end (org-end-of-subtree)))
       (org-export-region-as-ascii beg end t (get-buffer-create head))
       (with-current-buffer
	   (get-buffer-create head)
	 (write-file 
	  (concat (replace-regexp-in-string " " "_" head) ".txt")))))
   ;; see org-map-entries docstring
   match scope))
#+end_src

Then to attach the files, which depends on what MUA you use.

HTH,
