Do you actually find it easier to compose mail in textmate? For me, I've replaced all of my programmers' editors with textmate -- and I've even gone so far as to set my EDITOR variable.
Me too. You might find this helpful. It defaults to vim (for remote SSH sessions), but uses TextMate if you're logged in locally. I use tcsh, but I'm sure you can figure out how to adapt this to some other shell.
setenv EDITOR vim if ( ! $?SSH_CLIENT ) then # use TextMate in place of vim setenv EDITOR '/usr/local/bin/mate_wait' setenv LESSEDIT 'mate -l %lm %f' alias vi '/usr/local/bin/mate' endif
I can still get to Vim if I want by typing `vim` instead of `vi`.
But e-mail? Is it worth the effort?
If it's just sentences, probably not, but if I need to indent multiple lines or put together a Markdown style list, it's far easier in TM.
