 neat email messages that are not a pain to read because quotations
 do not break the formatting of the rest of the message.

Here I go again. The one thing the editor needs is the ability to
block text in a message, then use reply to all and have that text be
marked as a quote, instead of the whole message, as can be done to
reply to one with F-4.

It took some getting used to, but I absolutely love the Bat's editor.
They can add the option to use an external editor, or improve the
existing one for the upcoming v2.0, but *please* don't touch the
original editor's functionality. :-)
