[Geany] mail filetype or replacing vim with geany

[Gour]

Hello,

at the moment I'm minimalist (in term of skills) vim user, but soon
will start working with Django as well as wxpython project and seems
Geany has very nice support for both (wx)Python and some specific one
for Django.

However, if replacing vim with another editor, I'd like to use it as
external editor in my (Claws-mail) mailer. For that purpose I have the
following line in my Claws' preferences:

gvim "+set ft=mail" -f %s

which takes advantage of vim's paragraph reformatting option (gq
command) so that, for instance the above quoted paragraph:

> However, if replacing vim with another editor, I'd 
> like to use it as
> external editor in my (Claws-mail) 
> mailer. For that purpose I have the
>following line in my Claws' preferences:

would be reforamtted as follows:

> However, if replacing vim with another editor, I'd like to use it as
> external editor in my (Claws-mail) mailer. For that purpose I have the
> following line in my Claws' preferences:

which is very handy when dealing with quoted messages.

Afaict, Geany does not have support for 'mail' filetype, but I wonder if
there is any interest to support it and/or tweak some of the present
format'a support to get the above mentioned enhanced support?

It's nice that Geany has '-i' option which was one of the reasons why I
gave up on considering SublimeText2, but having support for mail
filetype would be dream-land!


Sincerely,
Gour
