Wow,

that was an eye opener for me, first it lets me use/refer to german
umlauts, second I can use by this method full power of elisp on the
data:

#+TBLFM: $3='(nth 1 (split-string remote(addresstable, @@#$6) "@"))

extracts the hostname from a mail adress address@hidden -> bar.com.

it maybe makes even some kind of table data joining possible, failed
there on a tea-shopping database I tried to do in the past.

so thanks.
