[Evolution] Composing editor selection

[bg <bg fdi us>]

Ubuntu 16.04 with Evo 3.18.5.2

Evo has apparently changed what's being used as the internal editor for composing -  and

not for the better. I want to change to gedit or almost anything else than what's on offer.

But when I consult the "HELP" files, it directs me to <EDIT> <PLUGINS> <EXTERNAL EDITOR>,

and when I click that sequence, there is no  "external editor" choice presented. 

So what's the "new" method for pointing Evo to an external editor, which the "HELP" maintainers

have apparently let get by them? The only web reference I uncovered was the same instruction

as in the current "HELP" file......?

Thanks,

Brewster Gillett
