Recently i had wanted to use a text editor to speed up answering emails and considered Mutt and Emacs. I had used Thunderbird for sometime and liked the app but editing emails takes too long. Setting up Mutt was ok but still involved quite a bit of work.
Yesterday i came across a Thunderbird addon Muttador (still beta stage - vi editor) and today came across a non-mozilla TB addon called Exteditor... just what i've wanted and didn't think it existed! http://globs.org/articles.php?lng=en&pg=2
Some v.kind person has developed an external editor addon instead of the TB editor. It allows emacs, vi, joe, gedit or whatever to compose emails.
Should be of interest to anyone who wants to increase their productivity and say goodbye to the mouse while editing emails.

It sounds a bit like Mozex (for Firefox) but for Thunderbird, what a useful add-on.

Muttator and Exteditor are rather different aren't they! Muttator is (presumably) derived from Vimperator as it's the same developer I think. Both of these take over the whole Firefox/Thunderbird interface and try and give it a vi[m] look and feel, by default much of the GUI disappears.
Exteditor on the other hand just allows you to use your editor of choice when composing E-Mails in Thunderbird. This is more like mozex which (among other things) allows you to use an external editor to edit textareas in Firefox.
