[Design] Editor and Addresses

Thank you for starting this, and I wish you every success.

Two suggestions:

1. Editor.

I see that you're considering "Editor, an HTML 4.0 compliant WYSIWYG
text editor."  That's a reasonable choice.

Consider also allowing a user to specify his own preferred editor, as
does pine, mutt, kmail and others.  For those that don't use HTML in
email, it can be more important to use an editor that you're familiar
with.  The value of HTML composition is ... debatable.  Consider the
statement on the Design list's own page:

"To post a message to all list members, send email to
design@osafoundation.org. Please send messages in "plain text" rather
than HTML."

2. Address store.

I hope there will be integration with ldap?  At least to be able to
connect with an existing server (although using ldap as Chandler's
address store is at least conceivable at this stage of the game).
