Hi,
> Is it possible to edit a message in an external editor?
> Right now I am editing with vim inside the same terminal window, but for some drafts, I would like to be able to pop out the vim window. These are drafts that I usually edit all week long and send at the end of the week. I know I could just make a draft and it could stay open in a buffer, but I need to have it standing in a desktop by itself, otherwise I just forget to write it...
Using an out-of-terminal editor is possible by using the async-edit
hook. For example my async-edit.rb looks like:
system "gvim #{file_path}"
You then can use E in the reply buffer to edit the message in gvim.
Greetings,
Roland
