Hi Pawel,
         I think:) you should refine the way, the external editor is  
used by balsa.

At the moment to write in Hebrew/Arabic ecetera
you Have to change the gnome text editor to Katoob

via desktop>sytems preferences>preffered application on the gnome  
desktop..     ((This wont work in some distros such as debian))

Then choose edit>edit with gnome editor from the compose window of  
balsa.

If you could choose your external editor from preferences within
balsa and launch your external editor from an icon on the compose  
window toolbar I think it would be easier.
