pico/nano needs to be run in a terminal when you hit the Editor button
on the composition window (sending the message).  Therefore you need
something like this in your Editor prefs:

xterm -e pico %t

Of course, you can replace xterm with whichever terminal you have and
the switch to run the following command.
