Re: [O] emails written in Org Mode

[John Kitchin]

Can't you just change your buffer mode to org-mode, compose, change back
to message-mode and send? Did you want to do more than that?

I played around with using a heading with properties to send an
email. Basically the heading is the subject, you set some properties
about TO, CC, etc... and the heading content is the body. You just put
your cursor in the heading and run M-x email-heading. You can see the
code here https://github.com/jkitchin/jmax/blob/master/email.el#L31

and

https://github.com/jkitchin/jmax/blob/master/email.el#L35

It saves some details in properties, like when it was sent, etc... It is
occasionally useful to me.
