There isn't a "sensible" way. I use a wrapper script (around vi) as my
message editor and the script includes the following:

if [[ -n $editalt ]]; then
  mhshow -part 1 -form mhl.null -file $editalt | sed -e '1 d' -e 's/^/> /' >&3
fi

File descriptor 3 is initialised further up with `exec 3>$1' (the script
does a lot else besides).

That works if part 1 of the message is the text component which it
usually is. It probably also relies on other parts of my setup such as
piping text/html messages through lynx -dump.
