External-Editor
External-Editor (a fork of brian m. carlson’s ExtEdit) is a Thunderbird/Icedove extension to allow editing an email in an external editor, such as Vim or Emacs. It is based on Alexandre Feblot’s External Editor extension.
This extension is in a very preliminary state, and has been updated just enough to get it working in modern versions of Thunderbird. Further work will aim to improve the codebase and add new features.
To build, simply type make. You can then install the XPI in Thunderbird.
