Pentadactyl and gmail's new compose experience

[Alexandre Provencio]

Hello guys, I have been using penta's i_C-i on gmail's compose area to
edit my emails within a beautiful gvim window, with easy quoting of
older emails, syntax highlighting and all the cool things we all know.
The only gotcha was to have the email set as plain text and everything
went fine.

Now gmail is pushing us (for good) this new compose experience which
brings me problems to achieve my usual workflow: First I always have to
activate the '...' button in order to see older emails but the worst
thing is that even marking the email as plain text I still get a lot of
html tags when going to the gvim window which messes syntax highlighting
and everything else.

Is there something that can be done on Penta's side? Do you think gmail
team can do anything about it? Is it a good time for me getting a real
MUA (i.e. TB+Teledactyl, Mutt)?

Sorry- can't help with your problem, but I'm very interested about the gvim interface you describe! Is there a wiki/guide anywhere? Thanks!

Hello Nick, nothing special, on pentadactylrc there is:
:au LocationChange !mail.google.com,* :set editor&
:au LocationChange 'mail.google.com' :set editor="gvim -f -c 'set
ft=mail' +<line>"
