I wonder if it's even necessary to have *any* sort of MUA set up in Emacs, if all you're doing is sending email? Many email programs paper over the distinction between sending and receiving/reading email, but I think the Emacs-based tools preserve that distinction pretty well. Message-mode is built in, and I use it in conjunction with the msmtp program, like so: (setq message-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-sendmail) (setq sendmail-program "msmtp") Check the docstring for the *variable* `message-send-mail-function', and that should get you started. If you're only using a single account for sending, that should be significantly simpler. Look at `user-mail-address' and all that. Then just call `compose-mail'! To answer the original question, the org-mime library in Org's contrib/lisp directory is probably what you want for htmlizing buffers and sending them as email. Hope that helps, Eric
