[pmmail-list] Substitute Text Editor

[Kenn Yuill]

Trevor,

Well, something is really weird.
Is this behaviour a limitation of the program?

I have PMMail/2 installed in the directory
E:\Internet\MailNews\BPS\PMMail.  I would not think that this structure
would present a problem to the program, since it can find
E:\Internet\MailNews\BPS\PMMail\TEMP without difficulty.

Or am I misreading the intention here of "Edit the body of this message
externally?  Does this mean that a message can ONLY be edited
externally, while composing a response?
If so, this Icon should be removed from the "Message Read Window" and
be renamed "Compose a message externally" for the "Message Composer",
so that we would know that the external editor is substituting for the
internal one.  I am aware that this setting is available under "Account
Settings -> Editor".

No, it should not be a limitation of the demo.
