Limiting to the one aspect of this email towards which I may have
something useful to contribute. One option for text email is to use
org-mime from contrib/lisp/org-mime.el and then structure a subtree as
follows...
,----
| * send this to eric
| :PROPERTIES:
| :mail_to: eric.schu...@foo.bar
| :END:
|
| Here is an Org-mode email which will be sent to me.
|
| | 1 |
| | 2 |
| | 3 |
| | 4 |
|
|
`----
calling org-mime-subtree from within that subtree will result in a
message buffer holding the following (modulo your gnus/message setup)
,----
| To: eric.schu...@foo.bar
| Subject: send this to eric
| X-Draft-From: ("org-mode" 2692)
| From: Eric Schulte <eric.schu...@foo.bar>
| --text follows this line--
| Here is an Org-mode email which will be sent to me.
|
| | 1 |
| | 2 |
| | 3 |
| | 4 |
`----
By default the resulting email is text generated using (I believe)
org-export-as-org.

The desire to separate searching from agenda views makes perfect sense
to me. I've never used the searching features of Org-mode myself. I
suppose I use rgrep when digging through my Org-mode ~/notes/recipes.
