I have try to use an external editor, but it is not the same thing as
the build-in (bugged) editor. IMHO, The usability It is worse than the
bad undo/redo of build-in editor.

I'm sorry, I'm not a development, unfortunately, and my GNU/Linux
contribution is on other way.

The reason are many, I have set external editor to "gedit", and the
html format of message is lost. ...  I have try set it to "libreoffice"
and the html format and text indented is lost ... If i open a new
message, type some text, then open the external editor and close it
without modify or save it, the format of text into internal editor of
mail message is change, all line is join into one line ... And many
other.
