+    <title>MUTT INTEGRATION</title>
+
+    <para>I use mailplate as my <!--TODO: verbatim-->$editor for mutt, with the following setting
+      in my ~/.mutt/muttrc:</para>
+
+    <!--TODO: verbatim
+    <para>set editor="~/.bin/mail/mailplate -\-edit -\-auto -\-keep-unknown"</para>
+    -->
+
+    <para>mailplate currently has a bit of a limitation, or at least I have
+      not figured out a way how to work around it sensibly yet. If you re-edit
+      a message from mutt’s compose menu, it causes mailplate to reprocess the
+      message, which you may not want.</para>
+
+    <para>Similarly, if you find yourself editing messages from the index or
+      pager, you probably also don’t want mailplate to get in the way. For
+      these cases, I currently use the following two keybindings:</para>
+
+    <!--TODO: verbatim
+    <para>macro compose     e ':set my_editor="$editor"<enter>:set editor=sensible-editor<enter><edit-headers>:set editor="$my_editor"<enter>' "invoke normal editor to edit message"</para>
+    <para>macro index,pager e ':set my_editor="$editor"<enter>:set editor=sensible-editor<enter><edit>:set editor="$my_editor"<enter>' "invoke normal editor to edit message"</para>
+    -->
+
+  </refsect1>
+
+  <refsect1>
+    <title>VIM INTEGRATION</title>
+
+    <para>I am often editing a message with vim and find that I need to use
+      a different identity. For this purpose, I have the following keybindings
+      in my ~/.vimrc:</para>
+
+    <!--TODO: verbatim
+    <para>nmap <buffer> <F1>      :w<CR>:%!mailplate -\-keep-unknown -\-auto<CR></para>
+    <para>nmap <buffer> <C-P><F1> :w<CR>:%!mailplate -\-keep-unknown private<CR></para>
+    <para>nmap <buffer> <C-P><F2> :w<CR>:%!mailplate -\-keep-unknown debian<CR></para>
+    -->
+
+    <para>Now when I reply to a message, mailplate automatically choses the
+      right template, and if I later change my mind, I can press C-p, to
+      override the choice and select the private template, or just hit to have
+      it re-run the auto-detection.</para>
