Org as a minor mode (tables)

Org as a minor mode (tables)

[Andrew Lawson]

Hello

    Today I found myself sending various bits of tabular text via email
(emacs in mutt) and found myself wondering whether it might be possible
to use the org mode table support while composing messages. At the
moment I have mail-mode enabled while writing and I've switched on
orgstruct++-mode too but I note that that doesn't seem to have any table
support. Is there any way of getting such a thing running?

    cheers

        Andrew

Of course you can:

http://orgmode.org/manual/Orgtbl-mode.html#Orgtbl-mode

Reading the manual is a good idea. :-)

Yes, well, it was obvious in retrospect, somehow I missed it ...

    thanks
