Hello,

Based on a thread launched by Jambunathan, I've tried to follow another
direction, having a huge interest in getting such a thing to work.

My trial is very border-line, as I tried using Org code blocks. Would these be
"convertable" to LaTeX, that would make (or have made) sense.

Just presenting this to you, in order to receive ideas on how to progress in
the right direction.

Following ideas found here, I am trying to use Org for writing LaTeX letters
at the speed of light.

The class I'm used to compose with is called isodoc. Very nice. You should try
it...

*Problems* encountered /so far/:
- how to insert properly converted tables (to =LaTeX=)?
  | test | hello |
  | foo  | bar   |
- begin an Org block, editing this code adds commas in front of every line...

That's all for now.
#+end_src

* Closing
#+srcname: closing
#+begin_src org
  Yours Truly
#+end_src

* Encl

#+begin_src org
I still have to look at how to declare some attached documents.
