That directory re-creation seems to have fixed the problem. I'm typing this in TextMate :)
Thanks Mel.

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.
But e-mail? Is it worth the effort?

For me, the answer is "sometimes". I use Thunderbird for mail, and in general I am in favor of HTML in mail messages. T-bird's HTML isn't great, though, and it gets worse and worse as the quote level deepens and includes HTML from even worse WYSIWYG editors (Outlook, I'm talking to you!) I sometimes like to pop over to TextMate to clean up the HTML myself.
I personally use Textmate for any messages over a couple of lines. The inconvenience of visiting another app to compose the message is outweighed by the power of all the snippets and macros I have defined in Textmate, and I can additionally save drafts and copies to a more- reliable-than-Mail.app text file if I need to.
My dream is one day that textmate can handle reading mbox or maildir files. I could collect, filter and deliver messages to a local folder structure with fetchmail, procmail and bogofilter and then set up a project in Textmate to view that folder structure and read, move and manage my mail. I love Mutt but I get frustrated not being able to navigate with the mouse and always end up back using Mail.app. A setup like the one described would be heaven for me!
One day I may have a go at pulling it all together into a bundle to play with it...

Actually, while this thread is active - does anyone out there have things set up so that Textmate can open as a default editor whenever you open a new message, rather than open in Mail.app and then cmd-alt- e to get into Textmate? Does it sound like a feasible thing to be able to set up?
Thanks, Nigel

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`.

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.
