subject: Msgedsq external editor switch

ac> Hi Paul.  Can you add in a switch for Msged to diable/enable the external
ac> editor, eg.

ac>   switch exteditor on  ; enable/disable external editor

ac> and add this switch to the Msged Setup dialog box?

Yeah, that's a good idea.  I think I'll use it to replace the
"show seenbys", as that is a pretty useless thing to have
when you can just go Alt-V.  This is an enhancement though, so
don't expect that before 3.1!

ac> BTW, when you re-edit a message in Msged, the message time/date does not 
ac> change.  Can you fix this, and/or make it an option?

Yeah, I noticed that myself.  I just presumed that was the way
people wanted it, it being the operation of 2.2e.  Does anyone
have a really good reason why it shouldn't be changed to always
use the current time?  I'd rather not make it an option unless
there's a good reason for it to not be done the one way.  I'll
count that as an enhancement though.  BFN.  Paul.
