It makes no sense to do this. As others have said, you can create a new
message by editing an old one, but it's a *new message*. Being able to
edit an old message is a can of worms. Are you going to edit all the
copies everyone else received? How about editing a message sent by
someone else? Are you going to change the copy they have on their own
mailstore? How about a message that's digitally signed?

Maybe what you actually want is not exactly what you said, but I for one
am at a loss to understand what your point is.
