Package: wnpp Owner: deba...@debian.org Severity: wishlist * Package name : external-editor-revived Version : 0.6.0 Upstream Author : Frederick Zhang * URL or Web page : https://github.com/Frederick888/external-editor-revived/ * License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: Rust, Javascript Description : Thunderbird MailExtension which allows using external editors
External Editor Revived is a Thunderbird MailExtension which allows editing emails in programs such as Vim, Neovim, Emacs, etc. Since Thunderbird no longer supports XUL extensions, it's not possible to launch external programs directly with an extension alone. External Editor Revived uses a companion native messaging host which launches editors externally instead. Thunderbird starts the messaging host, sends all the info over to it via stdio, and waits for responses to update emails accordingly.
