I suppuse that by writing "program" you mean Emacs' compose-mail, gnus
etc. External handler of course, would be useful too.

OK, however, inclusion of todo and/or tags should be optional and
possible for those who would like to exchange those information with one
another. Converting those to iCal attachment is yet another issue.

Fine but the above note applies.

That's right and in case of compose-mail/gnus and whatever else a letter
with files attached should appear.
Later at home I thought about it some more:
- The To, Cc and Bcc headers read from :PROPERTIES: or collected
with minibuffer.
- Sent-To field in the PROPERTIES drawer filed after sending
mail. This might require collecting addresses from within org-mode
before invoking mail program (the above).
- Move the list from Sent-To to Old-Sent-To everytime the node or
its child or its attachment changes (this might be quite difficult
to implement but awesome to have)
- Custom mail headers to include in the PROPERTIES drawer. Something
like
:PROPERTIES:
:MailHeader-X-Face: l;aksjdf;ioavh9p8qrty9
:END
would result in X-Face: in the mail. X-Face, however, would
probably be configured with a mua but I am sure someone will find
it useful.
- Message-ID derived from node's ID. This would be quite useful for
associating replies with original notes/nodes.
These are of course my whishful thoughts, especially the one with
Old-Sent-To. I think, however, that org-mode with them implemented would
be even greater tool than it is today.
