Dear Björn, Thanks for the speedy reply! Great to see this level of support.
> You have to run Safari in 32-bit mode for Input Managers to work (and > "Edit in ..." is an input manager). To do this: Aha, excellent! I get it - is this because at present MacVim binary is compiled in 32-bit, and so is the input manager it installs? And 32-bit plugings are a no-go for 64-bit apps? I don't actually care about Safari, but Mail.app is crucial to me, as I can't envisage myself editing my mail in anything but Vim. And running Mail.app as a 32-bit app brought back the "Edit in MacVim..." just nicely, thanks! Does this all mean that whenever we'll have a dedicated 64-bit Snow Leopard only version of MacVim come out, I can run Mail.app in 64-bit mode again? >> 2).

Chalk me up as another person eagerly waiting for this fix to happen. I use Vim for LaTeXing, different papers for different journals require a different set of macros and various other setting/hacks and I rely on local .vimrc files in the directory of each paper to load them up. Being a recent Linux -> MacOS migrant, under Linux I've just used plain console-based Vim for last 10 years, but now under MacOS all the Spotlight/Dock Stacks magic really wants me using MacVim! :) -- Via lata gradior * more iuventutis, Implico me vitiis * immemor virtutis, Voluptatis avidus * magis quam salutis, Mortuus in anima * curam gero cutis.
