You can use the cut and paste functionality in Emacs, or save the document as
a file and read it into your e-mail message using Emacs (or any other text
editor); or you can save the file and specify it as an attachment to your mail
message.

The Emacs manual explains how to cut a region, and how to past (i.e., yank in
Emacs terminology) it.

Hint: c-@ (in other words ctrl-2) marks the start of the region; C-w (i.e.,
ctrl-w) cuts it, deleting the original. M-w (i.e., alt-w or esc w) copies the
region without deleting it. C-y yanks it, that is, inserts it where the cursor
is.

This is all thoroughly gone into in the Emacs manual.
