Hi!
You could try doing something with org-capture and the org-capture-templates so
that you would be creating your email from the start as an org tree entry under
the appropriate location. You can override the org-capture-before-finalize hook
(see org-capture.el) to send the mail when you're done typing in the indirect
buffer and hit C-c C-c (or org-capture-finalize).
I have org-capture set up so I can use it immediately from anywhere in Emacs
with the C-cc keys:
(define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
That combined with a suitable template and the hook override might give you
what you're looking for.
Hope this helps!
