It would be nice if Muttator emulated the "External editor" extension.

*) With a keypress (Cntrl+E), that extension brings up Vim and replaces the compose window with an unusable box that isn't restored until Vim is closed.

*) Additionally, the headers (you can set which ones) are brought into Vim as well. They are separated from the rest of the message with a

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=# Don't remove this line #=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

That makes sending git format-patch'd [PATCH]es to mailing lists a lot nicer. You can just :read them into Vim and add that separator line where appropriate.

If you haven't tried "External Editor," you should -- just for some ideas. It's a nice approach to calling the external editor. However, I think Muttator devs can probably come up with a better way to separate headers from body than using that silly separator line. (maybe a shorter and less silly separator line?)
