Thunderbird looks forward

Another missing feature, that is not on the list, is the ability to edit messages. For many (most?) people the email/news client is an archive of information, and the inability to modify the information is a serious drawback.

There are many examples why this is very much needed: delete excessive quotes, correct spelling, add a comment, re-wrap messed text, provide a meaningful subject line, or just correct the encoding.

Moreover, there is no way even to edit my own message that's still in the Outbox, so I have to open a copy (ie. Edit as New), edit the message, save and finally delete the original. Very cumbersome.

There are popular proprietary email clients that for many years now allow editing any message. Hopefully Thunderbird developers will realize that this is a useful and very much needed functionality.
