 Indeed, I don't know how can anyone use the built in composer. OTOH,
writing a good composer is hard so most I can do is to replace it with a
simple text control. This would be still better, probably.

 Right...

 Yes.

 Definitely. This is a very bad idea and it won't be done like this. We
could have a "Reformat" (gqap in ViM) command but the user would need to
invoke it himself.

 I'm afraid I won't have time for it :-( If someone could give some ideas
about how to use a plain text control + something for the attachments it
could be useful because I do intend to do this.

 BTW, there is a roadmap file in docs. It's not completely up to date but
is more so than many others. We could discuss it here, too...
