Unfortunately this was already the case: one *needs* to write a wrapper
to avoid invalid sequences or unprintable characters to be given to the
editor. And this is much more complicated than writing a script to set
the exit code to 0.

Also the .mailcap (to view attachments with external tools) also needs
programming knowledge.
