We have had an "external editor" plugin for some time now, though it only works for plain text messages and needs some usability love. Visit Edit -> Plugins -> External Editor -> Configuration. You can tell it to automatically launch a text editor every time you compose a message, or you can launch it manually from the File menu of the Compose Message window. When you close your preferred editor, the Compose Message window is populated with the message content from the editor. Matthew Barnes _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list kmail also has a preferred text editor option. It will invoke OOwriter, but doesn't accept the formatted output. The feature set I use from the word processor is very limited, but addictive to use. It may be simpler for an email client enhance its formatting features rather than provide the interface to a word processor. For the record my formatting feature set includes: auto completion, correction, capitalization, grammar as well as spelling check and paragraph styles. Paragraph styles include fonts and line to line spacing. I don't have a good feel for the complexity involved with say paragraph styles and grammar check. If these features were added to Evo for example, would that make Evo a word processor?
