MoMe ? Almost got it right. They should have gone with my idea:

MemoZilla

:)

I remember that NVu was supposed to be included in seamonkey's codebase (mozilla suite at that time). Why has seamonkey been abandoned with the old Composer code, if NVu is finished and ready to replace that?

(From Alex: Last I heard - and Daniel Glazman is surely welcome to correct me on this - NVu was based on Mozilla 1.7 code. Absolutely unacceptable for the current code base.)

Agreed, from everything I hear, the composer widget needs some love. I had a good chat last year with Fabien Cazenave, the maintainer of KompoZer, and I'm hopeful we can work together to improve the state of authoring...

That's right, I confirm that Nvu is based on gecko 1.7 (I'm working with glazou). And most of patches are deprecated for the trunk. I worked on it few days to try to port this patches on the trunk, and there are too many difference between 1.7 and 1.9 (at least in the layout). So it is not easy and need some works.

About working on the editor: I know the editor code but unfortunately, I didn't have many time to enhance it, although I have some ideas to improve the editor, to rewrite some part of the code etc.

However, perhaps I will have time after the next release of my wysiwyg xml editor (this year). And perhaps Glazou will have time too to work on it this year ;-)

What about Mozile (MOZilla In-Line Editor)?

I will not try to enumerate here, all the problems trying to compose complex html compositions with the current editor.
Imagine trying to insert javascript where all instances of greater than or ampersand are escaped when the message is saved or sent. Or re-inserting image source links, every time you edit any portion of the html. Although I have tried to exclusively use the tools provided in thunderbird to compose rich newsgroup posts, I find many of the problems also exist in NVU and composer. 'Advanced editor" for adding inline styles needs the most work IMO
