They were plain text emails?

(Believe me, I understand what you mean/the problems people cause when they
paste things in the buffer that aren't plain text--that is one reason to use
OrgMode.)

In any case, sorry about that--I just copied-and-pasted my tests--right from
the OrgTable/file?

My suggestion then (after all that "brainstorming crap") boils down to this
alone:

Maybe put in 1 key in table mode that puts a dummy line in, maybe something
like this:

|||||||||

--it puts in the same number of cell separators and empty cells on empty
line as are on the previous line---or you could just do:

Cu 8 | <Enter> <Tab>

And then it spreads it out/covers-down the columns--or the user then just
taps <Tab>

(OrgMode will then format the table for them)

And then the OrgMode user would type in the multi-line-text column in the
respective column-cells.

Or I suggest a keyboard-macro (to put in the "dummy rows") for this too;
thats what I'll do--I'll put it in my .emacs.


Thanks Bastien and Wang.
