Christian, if I understand you correctly, you mean that Mozilla does not use the
Windows default HTML editor, but instead uses Composer in all circumstances.  I
know that there is a bug on the same issue for Mail, but can't find one for
Composer - I would be surprised if one did not exist! In the meantime, I would
suggest a more accurate bug title, perhaps:

System default HTML editor is ignored (Windows), Composer is used instead

A couple of things.  Firstly, I should have said before I suspect this should be
a RFE (enhancment).  Secondly, a couple of bugs in the same general area:
Opening mailto in the system default mail app is bug 11459, and opening links in
mail in the default browser is bug 108455

As far as I know this is fixed in firefox, right?

For SeaMonkey, chances are this is either wontfix or will just rot.

As far as I can see (FireFox 20040419, Win2k) there is no "Edit" command at all.

This is a dupe of bug 35268. Updating summary so that its clearer and resolving
as (another) dupe of 35268.

Yes! My Engish is not very good, sorry.
