When composing email, I usually type my text into an emacs buffer (which does allow me to turn off the blink) and then paste it into the mail client.
That seems to be weary.

So on windows Qt respects the OS settings and on Mac this is not the case (because of missing configuration options). The LyX code isn’t different on Windows and Mac here, AFAIK.
But there is a ticket with your issue and no solution yet:

I can't turn off the blinking cursor (extremely annoying!), I can't change the background color (white background gives me a headache), hotkeys don't work, etc. Is there an alternative binary that I could download?
>> Regarding the blinking cursor… it is quite common to have a blinking cursor. I agree it might be desirable to adjust the frequency or turn it off - but at a system wide level. I don’t know of a setting to read this parameter from. How do you adjust the cursor in Apple Mail or Safari? How do you adjust it with the Windows version?
