98402 - Please support using an alternate editor for the mail composer

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 13474

(MailNews Core :: Composition, enhancement)

Description

[Peter Anvin]

Some of us are very used to specific editors, e.g. Emacs, and would like to be
able to use them to edit mail.  However, I would hate to give up the wonderful
other paraphernalia of the Mozilla mail/news framework.  It would be very nice
if it was possible to designate an alternate plaintext mail editor, and perhaps
even support "swallowing" its window (this may be X11-centric, I do not know.)

I remember seeing a similar bug before. This is a dup. But I am not able to find
the bug.
