How do I coerce evolution into using a decent editor in its composer?
Eg, I'd like it to bring up $EDITOR rather than the windozy thing it
defaults too.

I'm currently using the xemacs key bindings, but I'm too much of an
emacs user to be happy with them as is.  So if I  can't get it to
bring up an external editor, how do I modify the key bindings?

Eg, how do I coerce it into binding C-w into something like emacs's
'kill-region' (eg, delete highlited text). And how do I get the editor
to do the equivalent of emacs's fill-paragraph, (M-q)?

Also, does anybody know what X resource controls its background color?
