Why bother with the exmh editor if you're an emacs user?  Just
use emacs (or whatever your preferred editor is).  It's silly
playing around with dozens of toy editors when you have one
powerful editor that can do everything you want -- that's why
Unix has the EDITOR environment variable, so that various
applications can just drop you in your chosen editor when you
need to do some editing.
