It could be that "webpages" are special though and Mail is insufficiently special. Or the other way around.

Email clients do not even agree on the format of a draft email. If I remember correctly then an Apple Mail draft is something completely different from what Apple Mail sends. In other words, the draft is some kind of private format.

That's one of the features of Mail.app that annoyed me the most. It turns a plaintext email into a weird marked up format that's smells a little like HTML but not quite enough to easily filter for subsequent editing in another editor.

I hadn't considered the 'format' issue. I was only thinking about displaying received email. Continuing to edit an email didn't even occur to me (the notion of typing an email on a phone is very alien to me). I was naively thinking that they'd pass an imap://[path][uuid] or similar URI around for the client to find and display the relevant email but ... that would probably be too easy.

In MailMate, a draft and a sent email is (currently) the same thing.

Please please please don't change the draft format in a way that makes it painful to continue editing in vi. :)

Thanks.

Philip
