  Description     : Thunderbird MailExtension which allows using external editors

External Editor Revived is a Thunderbird MailExtension which allows
editing emails in programs such as Vim, Neovim, Emacs, etc.

Since Thunderbird no longer supports XUL extensions, it's not possible
to launch external programs directly with an extension alone.

External Editor Revived uses a companion native messaging host which
launches editors externally instead. Thunderbird starts the messaging
host, sends all the info over to it via stdio, and waits for responses
to update emails accordingly.
