Your post reminded me of one of the math professors here (at UC Berkeley), who writes all of his papers using his own locally enhanced version of troff (he started using it before Knuth wrote TeX). He is also a vi (not vim!) wizard, and has the most complicated macro system I have ever seen for doing things like using vi as his mail client.

Uh. That's not `using vi as the editor for his mail client', right?
He's actually doing mailbox parsing, header layout and pipe-to-sendmail *in vi*?
(Ye gods.)

It's vi in conjunction with the mail command (remember, it's possible to execute external commands from within vi).

Bah, I was hoping it would be executing /usr/sbin/sendmail directly ;)
