An alternative, which isn’t as neat as you would like, would be to set up the 3 
days as separate events, with 7-day repeats.

[O] org-mode R using xtable produces strange output

[Brian Shine]

I am using xtable to produce summary tables of linear models, specifying the 
output as latex.  If I just run the code in R, I get the correct output.  
However, the latex output in the org document contains a lot of “|”s.  I think 
this is because the header of the table contains some code to make “p > |t|”, 
where the vertical lines are to indicate “absolute value of t”.  My guess is 
that when the output is written to the results section, org interprets the “|” 
signs as an org-table and tries to be helpful by adding more of them to make up 
the correct number of columns. If I switch off the latex output, and write the 
xtable to a small .tex file, using xtable.print and then include the file after 
the code block, the table appears correctly.
I’m using emacs 25.2.

Here’s an example:

Thank you so much.  This looks like a great website.  I’ll have a read and see 
whether I can get it to work.  I may well call on you!

Re: [O] Fwd: how do you compose mails in Gnus with org-mode

[Brian Shine]

This is a wonderful resource, but I wonder if I can ask how to set up email 
using emacs?   I’ve failed multiple times to do this using several solutions 
that are suggested. My main accounts are with iCloud and Exchange and I have 
never managed to log in through the suggested methods.  I’m obviously doing 
something basic incorrectly. 

Is there a really simple guide to setting this up?  

Best wishes,
Brian
