We have had an "external editor" plugin for some time now, though it
only works for plain text messages and needs some usability love.  Visit
Edit -> Plugins -> External Editor -> Configuration.  You can tell it to
automatically launch a text editor every time you compose a message, or
you can launch it manually from the File menu of the Compose Message
window.

When you close your preferred editor, the Compose Message window is
populated with the message content from the editor.
