Org entry to email

Org entry to email

[Xavier Maillard]

Hello,

Is there something to automatically mark an org element and put it in
an e-mail body ? This is something I am doing quite often and this
would be really useful to me.

Currently, I do M-h then M-w then open a new mail buffer and finally
C-y into it. I'd probably write a macro for that, but, who knows,
there can be a better solution ;-)

Regards
-- Xavier.

I have some email functions here:
https://github.com/jkitchin/jmax/blob/master/email.el
that I use with org-mode regularly.

see email-heading in particular.

There's org-mime in contribute, if what you want is a text-plus-html
multipart email. I've also got a package in the repos called Gnorb,
which includes a command called gnorb-org-email-subtree, which does
pretty much what it sounds like: Exports the subtree at point into your
choice of format, and either pastes the resulting text into the email,
or attaches the resulting file to the email.
