Well, I use the following to maintain a diary file. It's probably
equally easy to use a Org file:

(defun message-to-diary ()
  (make-diary-entry (concat
                     (format-time-string "%B %d, %Y %H:%M" (gnus-date-get-time 
(message-fetch-field "date")))
                     (if (message-fetch-field "newsgroups")
                         (concat " Sent news To: " (message-fetch-field 
"newsgroups"))
                       (concat " Sent mail To: " (message-fetch-field "to")))
                     " Subject: \"" (message-fetch-field "subject") "\""
                     " Message-ID: " (message-fetch-field "message-id")))
  (save-buffer "diary"))

(add-hook 'message-sent-hook 'message-to-diary)
