Hi Eric,
Thanks a lot for this, I think I'll use it quite a bit.
This may be specific to my setup, but in case this is useful to others,
as a gnus user I had to do
(setq mail-user-agent 'message-user-agent)
Without altering this --- i.e. with mail-user-agent set to the default
value of 'sendmail-user-agent --- org-mime-org-buffer-htmlize puts the
outgoing message in mail-mode (a.o.t. message-mode). For me, that meant
that the resulting outgoing email was rendered verbatim in gmail,
whereas from message-mode it is fine. The exact contents of outgoing
emails are below.
I noticed one small bug, but perhaps it's an org-mode bug? When I use
org-mime-org-buffer-htmlize on this

And here is what the outgoing email looks like from message-mode (exact
same content, but pasted from mail-mode into message-mode).
