I imagine many of those issues are not related to vim compatibility.

I just installed neovim-ruby and tried to send an email with
neovim+notmuch-vim: it was sent just fine.

Note that notmuch-vim sends email using the `sendmail` command. Do you have
that properly configured?

How would you send email from the command line?

I have no problem using another language, since anyway I'm planning on
rewriting the whole thing.

But it has to be the right language, and right now the right language seems to
be Ruby.

I'd be happy to consider other alternatives, but at this point which are those?

That's aerc, nothing to do with notmuch-vim.

Are you getting the two confused?

Again: that's not notmuch-vim.
