[O] State of things: Email with orgmode?

[Tory S. Anderson]

For ages I've been hearing about people doing or wanting email 
with orgmode. I've been using gnus for years, but am curious as to 
what is possible with orgmode. My search engines aren't revealing 
any explanations, but orgmode navigation combined with the 
composition possiblities with things like html export and 
integration with orgmode power seems like  nice potential. Orgmode 
already has a very useful facility with taking links to Gnus 
messages, and the highly useful org contacts; what else is out 
there? Is there a way to write and send emails from orgmode, 
without just doing copy/paste/attach?
