Yes, you are right. Forgive me if I somehow implied that org mode could
not slice and dice any type of plain text. Anything and everything goes
into my org files. :)

I got the impression, however, that the OP was typing M-x org-mode while
composing a mail in mail-mode or message-mode. I think the correct
approach would be to activate the minor modes (orgstruct-mode,
orgtbl-mode).

Best,
Matt
