Hi, It is now possible to send HTML mail directly form an org-mode buffer.
Calling `org-mime-org-buffer-htmlize' (could probably use a better name) from inside of an org-mode buffer will use `org-export-as-html' to generate HTML of the buffer (respecting regions and subtree narrowing), and will then package the resulting HTML with all linked images into a message buffer. As usual thanks to Carsten's thoughtfully organized functions and control variables this was surprisingly easy to implement.
