    There would be no internal editor at all.  It is code that, if they don't
support, frees up time to devote elsewhere.

    Why?  It really acts no different than the internal editor.  Type in a
to/cc/bcc, type in a subject, press enter and it launches the external
editor.
This mirrors the way that the console MUAs do it and users have been using
those for years without problems.
