I do! (Sometimes.) I have bound `C-c x' in message-mode to swap to
`org-mode', and `C-c x' in org mode to swap to message-mode. Mostly I do
it for the outlining, but using babel to properly indent source code
snippets is very nice too.

It does! Obviously Org markup is already perfectly readable as plain
text emails. And if you want to send HTML emails, check out
`org-mime-htmlize' which is part of `org-mime' from org-plus-contrib
(see: http://orgmode.org/elpa.html)

I just noticed that saving with `C-x C-s` does save the buffer. Why do you have a personal binding for saving the buffer? Is it doing something else? -- Narendra Joshi

I usually just save it (C-c s) and it is saved to where it would be saved anyway when I eventually do C-c C-c. Myles

Do you write your email with Org-mode? I have seen a lot of people
writing the source code blocks and surprising they are syntax
highlighted in Gnus. This makes me wonder if `org-mode' has support for
writing emails too.
Thanks for the info about new keywords. :)

I believe that the capture window is simply a view into the file where the note will be placed so it should actually be there already unless you cancel. It is not a separate buffer. -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 26.0.50.1, Org release_9.0.4-242-g2c27b8 signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Dunno about backups, but I experience this problem too. (Another
annoyance I have is accidentally hitting `C-c C-c' to tick a check box
and having my in-progress work being moved.) It can help to use the
`:immediate-finish' and `:jump-to-captured' settings like so:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
("n" "Note" entry (file "Notes.org")
(file "tpl-note.org")
:empty-lines 1
:immediate-finish t
:jump-to-captured t)
#+END_SRC

[O] Saving org-capture buffer while writing it
Hi, Sometimes when I am taking notes, I end up spending a lot of time in a capture buffer. If I happen to switch to something else, I end up loosing the capture buffer. I probably just kill the buffer accidentally, or do `C-c C-k'. Is there a way I can take backups of the buffer to a file? Thanks, Narendra Joshi
