Bob,

All the other postings seemed to have missed the boat.  What
you want to do is make sure your mail handler and editor
are not bound to each other.  A lot of mailers
out there (including the one I'm using) will drop you into
the editor of your choice while preparing your e-mail.  Exit
from the editor transfers the text back to the mail handler so
it can do its work.  This allows you to provide your clientele
with any editor that pleases them -- individually customized
with preferences in the login profiles.
