Indeed! This gets me very close to what I had in mind. Aside from
saying thanks, I have two related things to say:
1) The code snippet above (really org-mime-org-buffer-htmlize)
produces output which is either designed to be further processed by
the mml library (mml-generate-mime) for gnus users or by the semi
library for wanderlust users. Thus, the buffer resulting from the
above code-snippet is still one step away from being something one
could feed to smtpmail, and makes the output one needs to get from
org-mime dependent on an MUA (gnus or wanderlust).
2) I don't see the reason for this dependence. Forget what mail
client the user prefers, whether gnus or wanderlust or something else.
Why not just feed the output of org-mime to a scratch buffer, run
(mml-generate-mime) on that, stick the output in a message buffer,
build a header, and then run smtpmail-send-it?
3) Okay, I see one reason for the dependence: I guess that mml isn't
part of the base emacs distribution.
4) And I see another reason: if one wanted to edit the htmlized buffer
it might be a little more convenient to work with the semi or mml
representations instead of the mime.
But (3) and (4) seem weak to me. What am I missing?
