RFC 2822
   The "Message-ID:" field provides a unique message identifier that
   refers to a particular version of a particular message.  The
   uniqueness of the message identifier is guaranteed by the host that
   generates it (see below). (...) a good method is to put the
   domain name (or a domain literal IP address) of the host on which the
   message identifier was created on the right hand side of the "@", and
   put a combination of the current absolute date and time along with
   some other currently unique (perhaps sequential) identifier available
   on the system (for example, a process id number) on the left hand
   side.

I've rather thought about preparing an email with org-mode. Making
notes, introducing a structure, think: wrinting a report.

This brings another option. Copy the whole node with its children into a
message buffer and then run some code to make it look like it should
(drawers, leading stars, attachments, tables etc.)
