Hello everyone;  I use an external editor with Multimail as well, but am
not having any problems with the editor, so here is what is in my config
file "mmail.rc":


# -----------------------
# MultiMail configuration
# -----------------------
# 
# Any of these keywords may be omitted, in which case the default values
# (shown here) will be used.
# 
# If you change either of the base directories, all the subsequent paths
# will be changed, unless they're overriden in the individual settings.
# 
# Please see the man page for a more thorough explanation of these options.

Version: 0.43

# Your name, as you want it to appear on replies (used mainly in SOUP)
UserName: Wolf Szczypiorkowski

# Your Internet email address (used only in SOUP replies)
InetAddr: 

# Quote header for replies (non-Internet)
QuoteHead: -=> %f whispered to %t <=-

# Quote header for Internet email and Usenet replies

# Base directories (derived from $HOME or $MMAIL)

# Signature (file) that should be appended to each message. (Not used
# unless specified here.)
signature: c:\progra~1\olmr\mmail\sig.txt 

# Editor for replies = $EDITOR; or if not defined, start /w notepad
editor: C:\Windows\Command\pedit.exe

# MultiMail will look for packets here
PacketDir: c:\temp\.

# Reply packets go here
ReplyDir: c:\temp\.

I use pedit because it does include a spell checker and it is windows 
friendly (even though it is a DOS program).
