I do! (Sometimes.) I have bound `C-c x' in message-mode to swap to
`org-mode', and `C-c x' in org mode to swap to message-mode. Mostly I do
it for the outlining, but using babel to properly indent source code
snippets is very nice too.

It does! Obviously Org markup is already perfectly readable as plain
text emails. And if you want to send HTML emails, check out
`org-mime-htmlize' which is part of `org-mime' from org-plus-contrib
(see: http://orgmode.org/elpa.html)
