Or what about 'redirect'ing the mail to yourself i.e. 

  Message -> Forward As -> Redirect

Then fill in your own address as the To: and change the subject line to
whatever you want.  This will cause a new message to be created (which
is the only way of doing what you want), but will retain the rest of the
email intact.

This would also be a way of dealing with removing attachments.
