Hi Eric,
An easy fix may be using the `org-mime-html-hook' to post-process the
html, the following (untested) should be sufficient.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-hook 'org-mime-html-hook
(lambda ()
(replace-regexp
(regexp-quote "<span style=\"visibility:hidden;\">X</span>")
" ")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
To me, this seems easier than having an email-specific export target.
Best -- Eric
