You don't have to switch to GNUS in order to do it, but you might have
to configure Emacs's built in smtp-support. This is how I do it:

#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
      smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil))
      smtpmail-auth-credentials "~/.authinfo"
      smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com"
      smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com"
      smtpmail-smtp-service 587)
#+END_SRC

This is obviously for GMail. In my ~/.authinfo, I input the following:

#+BEGIN_SRC
machine smtp.gmail.com login user.name@gmail.com password p4ssw0rd
#+END_SRC

And then, I can send a org-file by attaching it to a mail in Emacs. Try
C-x m to start a new mail buffer, attach with C-c C-a and send with C-c
C-c.
