For the list and table stuff, here's an example from my .gnus file:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; operates on messages you send
(defun my/message-mode-hook ()
;; tab completion for alias in `.mailrc'
(local-set-key (kbd "M-TAB") 'mail-abbrev-complete-alias)
;; enable automatic word-wrap when composing messages
(setq fill-column 78)
(turn-on-auto-fill)
(when (try-require 'org-footnote)
;; default style used for footnoting is local to the Message being
;; written
(set (make-local-variable 'org-footnote-auto-label) 'plain))
(when (locate-library "org.el")
;; turn on the `org-mode' table editor
(turn-on-orgtbl)
;; turn on orgstruct-mode
(turn-on-orgstruct)
;; turn on the enhanced version of orgstruct-mode
(turn-on-orgstruct++)))
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'my/message-mode-hook)
#+end_src
For "Org-mode syntax" (putting codes as the above):
- simply copy/paste,
- select region with C-x C-x,
- demarcate block with C-c C-v C-d and insert the correct language (here:
emacs-lisp).

What do you mean? Accessing them? That can be done from Emacs, although I
did not set this up (yet).
Does the above meet your question?
Best regards,
