You can use an external editor also if you wish. I tried it yesterday -
for my own culture and to say "it works" ;) - I launched Emacs, typed a
few lines, quitted, and had my text in Sylpheed-claws nicely. But I
don't know if it really works with "exotic" thingies. However, Sylpheed
is meant to work in Japanese too (I think) so I believe this kind of
things could work.
