I have this function: (defun mime-send-mail () "org-mime-subtree and HTMLize" (interactive) (org-mark-subtree) ;; wish I could get the PARENT headline here! ;; then figure out how to set subject to that headline! (let ((subject (nth 4 (org-heading-components)))) (org-mime-subtree) (insert "\nBest,\nMP.\n") (org-mime-htmlize) ;; had to redefine so it could be called non-interactively (command-execute 'mml-attach-file) (message-goto-to)) ) I've been thinking about it, and I would love to just have a link to the student paper within org itself, and have the attachment added automatically after org-mime-htmlize runs. I'm not sure exactly how to do that but if I figure it out I will let the group know. I vaguely recall I've seen other people describe such systems so I would appreciate guidance if it's available.
