This would be useful.

You can move (or copy) the message to the drafts folder, in which case
opening it allows you to edit and send. Opening it in other folders just
lets you read it. Somewhat non-obvious, but it works.

Assuming you mean a real mailing list run from a list manager like
Mailman or Listserv, I don't see how Evo could possibly do this: it
doesn't know the list membership.
