Well in the viewcontrollers I'm using the - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation and returning yes when the orientation is: UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft for the editor and YES when it's portrait in the mail composer.
I am not using device notifications at all, I just added the generate notifications call thinking maybe it was not correctly generating the notification for the above method. But if I load the mail composer view controller first the device just sticks in portrait even if you rotate it and try again. I have to manually rotate the interface because the editor requires a large area to work in. It has to be in landscape. That is why I manually rotate the interface. If there is a better way to make sure that the editor always loads in landscape I'd be happy to use it as right now my only option is to force the editor to load at app launch thus making sure that no matter what I do the orientation is always correct.
