[Users] Mail-editing in claws mail w/ external editor: remove dual-editing window

[Carlo Federico Pauletti]

Dear Paul,

perhaps you are right! :D

Anyway, I wasn't expecting anyone to implement this feature for me, all I
asked if it was something easily achievable through a bit of playing with
the settings, or by some simple modifications to my script. Guess I will
play with the source code a bit and try to figure it out.

Thank you for your help,
Federico
