I believe the standard editor that comes with VMS meets these
requirements; it's called EDT, and it's supposed to be intuitive, easy
to use, etc.

If EDT is too hard to get a hold of, GNU emacs has an EDT mode that
works fairly well; and that might in fact be just what you need,
because it ought to be easy to interface with MH...

Hope this helps...
