Subject: orgtbl-to-generic with lfmt (wrong usage or bug)

Hi,

I was happy to find out about the possibility to convert a table into 
something else, but I struggle with obtaining a particular result. I 
have addresses in a table and want them to be formatted for printing. 
This is where I am so far.

#+ORGTBL: SEND sofar orgtbl-to-generic :lfmt "%s"
| Vorname | Nachname   | Straße          |   PLZ | Ort         |
|---------+------------+-----------------+-------+-------------|
| Karl    | Mustermann | Musterstraße 10 | 12345 | Musterstadt |
| Sofie   | Musterfrau | Ortsstraße 2    | 54321 | Meinestadt  |

#+BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL sofar
(Vorname Nachname Straße PLZ Ort)
(Karl Mustermann Musterstraße 10 12345 Musterstadt)
(Sofie Musterfrau Ortsstraße 2 54321 Meinestadt)
#+END RECEIVE ORGTBL sofar

But I would like to have

#+BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL wished
Vorname Nachname
Straße
PLZ Ort

Karl Mustermann
Musterstraße 10
12345 Musterstadt

Sofie Musterfrau
Ortsstraße 2
54321 Meinestadt
#+END RECEIVE ORGTBL wished

Here (http://www.canonical.org/~kragen/tmp/org-mode-notes) kragen says, 
that it works in orgtbl-mode but not in org-mode.

I would be happy, if you could tell me a way to get what I want. But I 
think also, that the help text on :lfmt in "orgtbl-to-generic" doesn't 
say what happens in my case, so there might be a bug.

:lfmt       Format for entire line, with enough %s to capture all fields.
             If this is present, :lstart, :lend, and :sep are ignored.

Regards
Gerhard
