Your e-mail headers suggest that you are using Windows. Thus, perhaps
the two best choices (subject to challenge by others) would be:

1. R-WinEdt (Under IDE/Script Editors)

2. ESS for Windows

The above two tools provide for a wide variety of functionality beyond
syntax highlighting.

There is a syntax highlighting file listed at the above site for jEdit.

HTH,
