Now Edit in Textmate has disappeared from my Edit menu in applications like Mail and TextMate, and the key binding Ctrl-Cmd-E doesn't work even on TextMate itself (eg, when editing snippets).

If installed (properly) *and* the application is running in 32 bit mode then there should be an Edit in TextMate entry in the Edit menu.

Since it is not appearing in TextMate (which is 32 bit) it indicates that the input manager is not installed correctly.

Try in Terminal to run: ls -lR /Library/InputManagers/Edit\ in\ TextMate

This will show all the files and their owner/protection flags, this may shed some light over what is wrong.

You can also try remove it and use Bundles → TextMate → Install “Edit in TextMate”… — I just tested this on a new (clean) machine running 10.6.7, and after switching Mail to run in 32 bit mode, I had the menu item and the ⌃⌘E key even worked (at some point Mail swalled this key).

The Edit in TextMate _service_ has been discontinued long ago. It is the _input manager_ you need.

I have yet to try this myself, given the comments in this thread, it sounds like it is about time I do :)
