thx both John and Matt
I went on and used johns function he recommended (since i needed a simple text only export) and it works flawlessly :)
John: just a quick follow up though
with that function you kindly shred "email-heading " it opens up a buffer and you insert the email address. is it possible to have a function that sends to a prefixed email address (ie myself :)). also can the function then just do it in the background without even opening the buffer? since i want to send it to a prefixed email i dont really need to see it and press C-c C-c.
This isnt really important so if its complicated please feel free to ignore ;-)
best
Z
