Not to be a dick, but I will be. Thanks, I know that. :D
How would Letters call a CLI editor? Does everyone need to define EDITOR in
the environment? Would there be an option to use EDITOR or a box to enter
the command line call? Would there be the popup menu that lets you select
GUI editors using the ODBE (sp?) interface? Would a new terminal window
spawn? What happens when you open a second email; another terminal window?
Etc.
I've never seen a GUI program that can call other user defined text editors
OR cli apps. Not saying they don't exist, but I've never seen it. I'd be
interested to see it done...
Thunderbird has an add-on called External Editor. It has a text box
that you fill in with a command line. I call Aquamacs' client with
"/Applications/Aquamacs Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient"
