If that's all the issue is, wouldn't it be resolved by choosing an external editor in preferences?

My biggest problem with claws in a corporate environment (aside from gmail's suckiness) is that I'm literally the only dude in our 80 person company who doesn't send html emails. While I'm fine with that, sometimes my replies to their html-only stuff mangles what they said. Someday I'm going to set up a template that allows me to write/edit html emails in my external editor. It'll take me an hour to write an email but it'll be a blast making some truly ugly content. Maybe the blink tag works...
