I don't know about anybody else, but I was never talking about changing
mail on some server.  I was talking about changing emails on my machine
that I have downloaded from a POP server.  I would really like to be
able to delete repeated parts of threads, add notes on how I responded,
etc.  Nobody else will ever see it.
Another change that would help with the same issues would be the ability
to save the reply message in the same folder with the received message,
rather than having it automatically go to the "Sent" folder.
