[Orgmode] Table conversion problem

[Bernt Hansen]

Hi Carsten,

I needed to convert a bunch of tab delimited data into a table today for
an email and I knew there was a function to do this so I went to the PDF
documentation for Org-mode version 5.17a

It says I can select the region to be converted into a table and then
hit C-c | to convert it to a table but I get this error instead of the
expected behaviour:

orgtbl-error: This key is has no function outside tables

Now I'm actually trying to do this outside of regular org-mode - when
composing a mail message using orgstruct-mode and orgtbl-mode as minor
modes.  In my *.org buffers C-c | works great.

Is there a way to do this without converting the data to a table in org
mode and then cutting and pasting it back to the email I'm composing?
