FWIW

There's a nice use case for exporting as org. If I compo= se an email which includes source code and I send it to a mixed audience, s= ome of whom use gnus, and others an html based mua, then I get best of both= worlds in terms of syntax highlighting, since gnus recognises org src bloc= ks and applies appropriate highlighting and those using some other mua get = the html highlighting as dictated by my own scheme.

This also applies for a single recipient who may access emai= l through gnus when available but needs the html version for viewing on, e.= g. a handheld device.

Cheers,

Will
