I'm using the Thunderbird "External Editor" plugin[1] along with a

External Editor plugin to use ~/bin/gvimwait.

Thanks! I'll try this immediately.
But is seems oddly complex compared to doing this on other OSs.
Why is that?
It does seem to me that the OS X port of Vim is somewhat less mature
than the ports for Linux and Windows. I've had some problems with
unicode font rendering, keyboard support (for example, ctrl-^ doesn't
work out-of-the-box), etc. But I expect the rough edges to be smoothed
out over time.
