Checkout the `org-mime-subtree' subtree command. It converts the
current subtree to an email, pulling email headers from subtree
properties, specifically
MAIL_SUBJECT or subtree heading -> subject
MAIL_TO -> TO
MAIL_CC -> CC
MAIL_BCC -> BCC
MAIL_FMT -> determines the format of the email (e.g., org, ascii or html)
so your example above would be
** note to person about blah
:PROPERTIES:
:MAIL_TO: address@hidden
:MAIL_SUBJECT: ADD people 7 times more likely to be creative
:END:
Dear Person,
Blah blah blah.
Best,
Peter
