hi, Tim, > The key question is what is the use case for having this 'mixed' content > in a table cell?
in my case, i am putting RFC822('ish) e-mail addresses in a column of an org-mode table. and, i want to extract them. ---- | oxymo...@example.com | | Greg Oxymoron <oxymo...@example.com> | | "Greg G. Oxymoron" <oxymo...@example.com> | ---- for the third row returns =Greg G. Oxymoron=, rather than my desired ="Greg G. Oxymoron" <oxymo...@example.com>=. by the way, do you know the use case for the current behavior for strings that start with a ="=? i couldn't find anything in the manual. i wonder if maybe the existing parameter =inhibit-lisp-eval= (which, in the path i am exercising, is non-nil) could also be used to not do the check for a ="=? (maybe that's also a hack, but i think it would solve my problem. :) cheers, Greg
