Vim as default email (thunderbird) editor

I really want to find a way to use vim as my default email editor. I
have been using thunderbird for a reasonable amount of time now, and I
stumbled through this "external editor" thunderbird plubin. However,
it seems not to be working with recent versions of thunderbird.

So, I was pondering, "well, many vim users certainly use vim to write
emails." If so, do you have any tips regarding this subject. What I
have done so far is to write the email in vim, and then paste the
message back into the email client. There must be a better, clever, or
nicer way of doing this.

I simply cannot stand any other editor anymore. There is no life after
vim.

Any thoughts and ideas are welcome.
