Thanks for the suggestions regarding org-mime. I can see that it
would be very useful for composing complicated email. But I have what
I think is actually a much simpler problem: *sending* email from an
org-file.
I have in mind something like:
#+TYP_TODO: EMAIL SENT WAITING | DONE
* Broadcasting project
** EMAIL What is the optimal frequency?
:PROPERTIES:
:To: kenneth@example.com
:END:
Dear Ken-
Could you please let me know when you've made progress on computing
the optimal frequency?
Thanks,

Then a transition in workflow state from EMAIL to WAITING would cause
(perhaps via org-mime) the construction of an email

which would then be automagically fed into an SMTP client for
delivery. Critically, one would *not* need to interrupt one's work
flow in order to go mess around with a mail client; a simple \C-c\C-t
or similar would send the email on its way.
Or very possibly there's an obvious way to accomplish a similar end
that hasn't occurred to me. Maybe the act of composing an email in a
mail buffer could also format and re-file the message in an org-file,
leading to a workflow similar to what one gets with org-capture?
Any further thoughts welcome!
Thanks,
-Ethan
