Setting $EDITOR to "gvim -f" results in invocation

Have you tried writing a script that runs gvim -f, then using that
script as $EDITOR?

I can't recall whether it's generally considered "OK" for $EDITOR to
contain any arguments; whether applications are required to parse it up
into words.  Of course, probably they should just invoke system() with
the value inserted at the beginning... but if Evo tries to use fork/exec
directly instead you might hit this problem.


setting $EDITOR to a script to init a non-forking gvim does appear to
work

rthompso raker ~ $ cat ~/bin/viminit 
#!/bin/bash

gvim -f $*

First issue = email body is not editable in the composer that is
created.
