GVim on Manjaro/ TB 102.11.0: Failed to talk to messaging host

[robert-winkler]

Description

Hi, after some years I'm returning to Thunderbird, since Oauth2 makes the use of aerc, alot etc. impossible with our institutional email provider (funny Office365 configuration). Nevertheless, I would like to edit my mails with Vim/GVim.

I was excited about the external editor plugin, because it could give me back the superpowers of Vim editing 😉.

Since GVim does not require a separate terminal, I thought this should be easier to configure.

Environment

TB Version 102.11.0 on Arch/Manjaro Linux.

Configuration

Please see screenshot attached. IMHO, the default should work. /tmp is writable.

Error Log TB:
