Try loading contrib/org-mime.el and then calling `org-mime-subtree' from within a subtree of an Org-mode buffer (you can set email headers with MAIL_TO, MAIL_CC, etc...). Also, from within an email composition buffer you can select a region of text in Org-mode markup and then call org-mime-htmlize, to convert the region to an HTML mail part. Cheers -- Eric
