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.

Huh, that is totally cool.  Do you think it would be possible to do the same thing with a mime/multipart message? WHen I try to run org-mime-htmlize first, thunderbird doesn't recognize the parts.

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