How do you copy an org mode tree from emacs to something like a Google
Email? In a way that would be a little more pretty, like RTF format?

The way I did it was I highlighted the tree, then M-x org-html-export-
to-html, then used (macbook) finder to open that file. That opened a
new Chrome tab, and I copy-pasted from there to my gmail.  I was just
wondering if there was an easier/better way.

I do this all the time for email, slack and confluence exchange: org-
export, narrow to subtree, html, open in firefox, copy, paste into
destination.

Simple html is the modern rich interchange format.

(For email I use org-mime to compose with org syntax directly in my
responses, and get a multipart/alternative html version just before
sending.)

[Here's a
thread](https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/54292/copy-results-
of-org-export-directly-to-clipboard) on exporting org to your
clipboard, you may have to do some monkeying around depending on your
operating system etc.

Also, if you set up a [mail manager in
emacs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZRyEhi4y44), you could
streamline the process further, but it may not be your taste.

org can export html to a buffer

Thanks! How would I copy/paste that to Gmail?  Is the exported html
rendered in the buffer?
