That said, since mml is distributed as part of Emacs, then the entire mime encoding process could end up being relatively easy, the only question is how to convince guified email clients to send pre-packaged mime email. I suspect this will be difficult for most email applications, and impossible for web email clients (e.g. Gmail). Also, if user's can send fancy email from civilian email clients why would they switch to "real" Emacs based email clients. :) > > Org prepares the body, then tells the mail app to prepare an mail with > it.

Hopefully I'm wrong on this, and I'd be happy to work on the org export and mime-encoding portions of this task. Cheers -- Eric
