With a hotkey triggered filter and a simple batch file.
Here's a filter:

$$$$ TB! Message Filter $$$$
beginFilter
UID: [1F9E637A.01C49379.16A9F46F.36DB8630]
Name: Revise\20Message
Filter: {\0D\0A\20`21\0D\0A}
ExportMessage Kludges OverwriteExist FmtUnix filename C:\5Cpad\5Ctemp\5Cedit.txt
RunExternal RunHidden CmdLine c:\5Cutil\5Crevmsg.cmd folder 
\5C\5CBill\5CLists\5Cc.l.f
Delete
IsActive
IsHotkey
IsHotkeyOnly
endFilter

And here's the batch file:

REM The following line starts my editor:
%vv%\gvim.exe c:\pad\temp\edit.txt
REM Now TB! puts it in the Inbox:
c:\progra~1\thebat~1\thebat.exe /importf="Inbox";X;IN=c:\pad\temp\edit.txt
