@slink The addons for configuring external editors are too difficult to use for me. I'll wait up until such features are built-in. Addons do exist but they tend to be somewhat hard to use.

@jarkko i honestly do not understand what you are referring to. you said something about plain text emails, not external editors.

@slink In order to write plain text emails you need to see e.g. the column number and stuff like that, which the internal editor is incapable of. And preferably default font for plain text emails should fixed-width (I know this can be changed).

@slink E.g. for reviewing upstream patches it is pretty lousy user experience. So yes, you are correct that you can send email as plain text but it does not treat plain text too well, if plain text is your main thing, and HTML email is a 2nd class citizen.
