Matt,

you can get to the PARENT headline like this:

(defun org-inspect ()
 (interactive)
 (org-mark-subtree)
 (save-excursion
   (re-search-backward "^\\* ")
   (message (nth 4 (org-heading-components)))
   (sit-for 2)))

and still have your marked subtree afterwards. Inserting these as headers
should be possible: 

- set up a buffer with your subtree
- go to the beginning of the buffer
- add To: <your target address>
- add Subject: <the heading component>
- add empty line

Call (mail-send-and-exit) to send the message. Tested in Aquamacs under
OSX with its defaults, this brought up a Thunderbird [*] window with the To
and Subject filled in from the buffer. 

Selecting another MUA via Emacs' variables might work the same.

[*] Yes, while I use mutt, Thunderbird is, for organizational reasons, my
unbeloved default mailer on this machine.
