Yup.
Outorg works with message-mode too, so I write my mails in message-mode,
and do
,----
| M-# # (outorg-edit-as-org)
`----
whenever I need Org-mode functionality like src-blocks, and then
,----
| M-# (outorg-copy-edits-and-exit)
`----
in the *outorg-edit-buffer* when I'm done with editing in
Org-mode. Makes it easy to edit you emails in full Org-mode.
There are some extra benefits, like automatic (optionally temporary)
insertion of export headers, automatic backup files in a /tmp folder
(one file for each explicit save with C-x C-s, and one saved when
killing the *outorg-edit-buffer*).
And there is a new library
[[http://goo.gl/pYYzS6][outorg-export]]
by Jonathan Leech-Pepin that keeps source-files and (Org) exports in
sync.
