You can do the usual ⌘F to bring up the standard fruity search box. I
don't now if you can search for things like newlines in there though.
On cursory inspection, it seems not.
The reason I’m trying to do this is somewhat arcane. I’ve noticed
that MailMate seems to increase the number of line breaks between
paragraphs in forwarded or replied-to emails. When I’m inserting
responses inline in those messages, the extra spacing can be kind of
distracting, and so I was going to explore using a simple
search-and-replace to reduce the number of extra line breaks between
paragraphs. But that requires being able to search for consecutive
line breaks—e.g., “>\n>”.
Is that possible? Or, even better, is there a way of changing the
underlying behavior of MailMate adding extra line breaks in forwarded
or replied-to emails? Or maybe I’m doing something wrong that’s
causing those extra line breaks to appear?
I would just use an external editor from a bundle. I use MacVim.
As far as I can tell, MailMate leaves the buffer alone after the
external editor gives it back.
