I wonder if this should be included in the contrib directory of Org-mode? Also, since it currently only supports gnus (it should be very easy to extend to WL and VM, but I don't have access to these other mailers for testing/verification) maybe it should be sent to the gnus mailing list instead? Cheers -- Eric Footnotes: [1] http://github.com/eschulte/org-html-mail [2] In defense of sending html mail I should mention that I've only been using it to send tables and latex images to people who I know don't have access to a true fixed-width font email client. In addition the code presents html as one multipart/alternative with the full org-mode plain text presented as a text alternative, so those who care and who have control over their email clients can opt to view the text portion and ignore the html. In gnus this is possible with (setq mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/html" "text/richtext"))
