I can’t get org-mode to fontify code blocks the way it should…I’m using Gnu Emacs 23.3.1 on cygwin and I tried it on same version WinNT. In my init file:

(setq org-src-fontify-natively t)

Then I expect blocks like this to fontified like sql-mode:

#+BEGIN_SRC sql

SELECT * FROM foo;

#+END_SRC

The contents of the block are shown in a different face to normal text, but no keyword highlighting etc. The same goes for other languages. Any ideas?

    My org-mode is too old (6.33x, which ships with my Emacs). This feature requires 7.x. Sorry for the noise.
