they are both nice but not the "real thing"

When you start writing an email in mu4e, could you just:

 1. do

 ,----
 | M-: major-mode
 `----
 
 2. do M-x mark-whole-buffer & M-x kill-ring-save, i.e.
 
 ,----
 | C-x h
 | M-w
 `----

and post the results?

And maybe figure out if in the mu4e world there exists a customizable
variable like:

,----[ C-h v mail-header-separator RET ]
| mail-header-separator is a variable defined in `sendmail.el'.
| Its value is "--text follows this line--"
| 
| Documentation:
| Line used to separate headers from text in messages being composed.
| You can customize this variable.
`----

This would probably give me all the info I need to adapt outorg.
