<p dir="auto">Greetings -</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm curious if anyone besides me would be interested in a MailMate option to<br>
use an external text editor for composing messages? After about 40 years of<br>
using DEC's keypad controlled text editor, and having recently taken the VMS<br>
cluster down, this is something I now really wish I still had available. I<br>
do have a very decent emulation of it (jed) running on OS X, and it's easy<br>
to call, at least from non-GUI programs. But, MailMate is far superior to<br>
mutt, et al., so I thought I'd see if there's enough demand to make it worth<br>
implementing. As well, Text Wrangler/BB Edit are wonderful editors for<br>
those who prefer GUI tools, and there is no shortage of other good character<br>
cell and GUI text editors.</p>

<p dir="auto">These are already available. If I'm not mistaken, there are bundles<br>
that allow you to edit/compose a message in Aquamacs, TextMate and<br>
SublimeText and you can take these as inspiration for creating a<br>
bundle for the editor of your choice.</p>
<p dir="auto">The mailing list has more info about these. The most recent thread<br>
about this topic starts here:<br>

<p dir="auto">If you search the list, you should find some more.</p>

<p dir="auto">I actually wanted to try use these but haven't figure out how ;/</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyone got a quick info on when to actually run the command ?</p>
<p dir="auto">I know i can do it <em>on</em> the actual already open mail message but that leaves me with a 'dead' window ;/</p>

<p dir="auto">I use a Keyboard Maestro macro described and linked to on TUAW <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2013/08/30/replicating-quickcursor-using-bbedit-and-keyboard-maestro/">http://www.tuaw.com/2013/08/30/replicating-quickcursor-using-bbedit-and-keyboard-maestro/</a></p>
<p dir="auto">It is set up for BBEdit but I think you can adjust it to other to use other editors. It is meant to mimic the old QuickCursor and seems to work all right after the first run. </p>
