I just configured Thunderbird to edit messages within vim. This gets me somewhere in the vicinity of my old mutt setup, which also used vim for editing. I'm using the following software versions under Mac OS X 10.5.2:

  • External Editor 0.7.4
  • Thunderbird 2.0.0.14
  • MacVim 7.1 (28)

External Editor's editor is set to: /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim -g --nofork. Works like a charm.
