I'd like to be able to launch an editor in a new terminal window and continue browsing my emails, like the contrib/bgedit-detectgui.sh script does but with my editor wrapped in a terminal window instead of with gvim.

My editor is nvim and my terminal is alacritty.

  set background_edit
  set editor = "alacritty -e nvim"
