Justin,

These all sound great I'm particularly keen on having an HTML
Editor be pluggable so that I could use TinyMCE[1] or the new YUI Rich Text Editor[2]

Tiny MCE should be easy enough to use in Dada Mail, you can do it
without even touching Perl code, just the templates The two you'd
want to play around (to start) with are:

admin_js
tmpl

and:

send_email_screen
tmpl

First, install it ala: http://wiki moxiecode com/index php/TinyMCE:Installation

In the admin_js tmpl file, you'd want to add the following lines:

tinyMCE init({ mode : "textareas" editor_selector : "mceEditor" });

Where, " /jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce js" is the URL to your tiny_mce/ tiny_mce js file

and then in the, "send_email_screen tmpl" fine this line:

<textarea name="html_message_body" cols="80" rows="30"  style="" id="html_message_body"></textarea>

and change it to:

<textarea name="html_message_body" cols="80" rows="30"  style="" id="html_message_body"  

class="mceEditor">

Untested, but that should be about it

I haven't found the YUI instructions, yet :)

I can def put something like this in the FAQ and also make it a
little easier in the code to work with - not a big problem and if it
comes in handy, hey, why not
