[PATCH] Documentation/email-clients.txt: Fix one grammar mistake, add extra info about TB

From: Giedrius StatkeviÄius
Date: Sun Mar 08 2015 - 21:54:12 EST


Fix one grammar mistake (Allows->Allow) and add extra information about
the external editor add-on of Thunderbird: the developer must make sure
that their editor doesn't fork (IOW it mustn't return before closing)
thus they should be careful how they configure the addon. Furthermore,
add a tip how to do it with gvim.

Thunderbird is an Outlook clone that likes to mangle text, but there are ways
to coerce it into behaving.

+- Allow use of an external editor:
The easiest thing to do with Thunderbird and patches is to use an
"external editor" extension and then just use your favorite $EDITOR
for reading/merging patches into the body text. To do this, download
and install the extension, then add a button for it using
View->Toolbars->Customize... and finally just click on it when in the
Compose dialog.
+ Please note that "external editor" requires that your editor must not fork, or
+ in other words, the editor must not return before closing thus you may have to
+ pass additional flags or change the settings of your editor. Most notably if
+ you are using gvim then you must pass the -f option to gvim by putting
+ "/usr/bin/gvim -f" (if the binary is in /usr/bin) to the text editor field in
+ "external editor" settings. If you are using some other editor then please
+ read its manual to find out how to do this.

To beat some sense out of the internal editor, do this:
