the rationale is: - if it's not sent by you, then you shouldn't be editing it - evolution's composer is not capable of handling all mime structures (it's an impossible task) also, there exists an option Actions->Forward->Redirect for at least some of the needs you brought up. a possible work-around for your "I store my sent mail and/or templates in other fodlers sometimes" could be to tag them with the \Drafts flag and have Evolution check that rather than simply limiting to Sent/Drafts folders for "Edit as New" functionality.
