Do you perhaps mean something like this???
--from mime.cfg---
file/mxedit.dgi |@call xedit mail.tmp

"call xedit" is referring to xedit.bat...
---xedit.bat---
c:\pedit\pedit.exe %1

(change pedit.exe to the editor of your choice)
I am editing this with pedit right now.
When I exit pedit, I'll be back on the "replyto screen" so that I can
save this to my outbox.
If you would prefer not to install the external editor .APM...
just do the changes manually.
Insert the "mxedit.dgi" line ito mime.cfg and then delete the original
"buttons table" and insert this new one into these 2 files
\arachne\reply.htp
\arachne\resend.htp
