# Using an external editor

You can compose the body of your message externally in your favorite text editor application so you can use its specific functionality.

Select Edit Plugins.

Enable External Editor.

Click the Configuration tab.

If a plugin is not available under Edit Plugins, then please ask in a support forum of your distribution. Your distribution might have decided to disable some plugins or to ship plugins in a separate package.

Set the corresponding Command to start the application.

If Automatically launch when a new mail is edited is not set, you need to select File Compose in External Editor in the mail composer.
