well, a lot of people are visiting this topic, but it seems that the task is not that much easy :(

Currently i just want to share a little experience.

As i said that i had installed TinyMCE in Drupal, but was unable to use it in CiviCRM. So i have used TinyMCE in CiviCRM using a somehow manual way. I have made a little change in the code of JavaScript that we use to include the TinyMCE in our web-page.

I changed the mode : "textareas" to mode : "exact". Doing this we restrict TinyMCE to only our desired textareas instead of all textareas on the page.
Just a little more change in the JavaScript Code is, to add another parameter elements after the parameter of mode. In the parameter of elements we include the names/ids of our desired textareas.

Now, after change, that JavaScript code looks like this,

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
   //mode : "textareas",
   mode : "exact",
   elements : "body_html",
   theme : "simple"
   });
</script>


thanks,
pharrukh.

I seem to have a heck of a time operationally using the HTML editor with CiviMail - I'm not sure if the issue is with the editor or how the javascript interacts with it.  For editors, I've really enjoyed working with:

Sounds like it should not be a big deal to switch editors, if have another favorite.  Where would we find the code for the CiviMail Form?

Just reporting that we're revisiting the JavaScript editor issue.  A user today could not display the HTML text from reused mailings - not sure why works for me (but hard to use) and other screens work fine for the user.  I temporarily did their mailing.  Don't get me wrong, I'm a strong CiviMail fan, but I'd describe the JavaScript editor interaction in CiviMail as masochistic even for me.    I use JavaScript editors for all of my clients and the user in question interacts fine with other javascript editors in other applications.

If others are modifying the editor code, please let me know and I'll report back if I think I have an improvement that works on the CiviMail screen.

Actually found some of the code - this is pretty much a first:
Line 160 through 172 must be part of the puzzle.  One item that may be immediately useful is the textarea height setting (we will increase) Not sure how to switch editors, but will study.
