As the author of that, I'm glad to see that was useful to at least one
other person.


If you use BBEdit, it works extremely well because the command-line
tool for BBEdit is very smart, and will remember the source
application.


I wrote a more generic version for MultiMarkdown Composer which could
be used for other applications at

Another option is here:

The nice part is the the 'edit-anywhere' is designed to work not only
in MailMate, but anywhere. In fact, I'm using it with Mailplane at the
moment.


If anyone needs help getting it to work, I'll be glad to try to provide it.
