Several ways:
1. Use the 'o' command to edit your options. Select E (editor), and
type in the name of the editor you want to use. Use > to save the
configuration.
2. Change ~/.elm/elmrc:
# what editor to use ("none" means simulate Berkeley Mail)
editor = emacs
3. Set the EDITOR environment variable:
$ EDITOR=emacs; export EDITOR
It's easier to do this in your .profile or whatever
