[BNM] Thunderbird - edit received messages

[Pete Dowdell]

I just found out how to edit a received email message in Thunderbird, I
thought it was very handy so I offer it to the list too...
the issue with the From: field makes it not quite perfect, but it's
handy for me to edit messages i have sent myself containing work notes etc.

To edit a message you have received in Mozilla Thunderbird:

* Copy the message from its current location to the Drafts folder
under Local Folders.
* Open that Drafts folder.
* Double-click the desired message.
* Do all the editing necessary.
o Editing the draft in this manner puts your email address
instead of the original sender's in the From: line. You can add a
Reply-To: header by clicking on an empty address field and selecting
Reply-To: from the drop-down menu. Then put the original sender in the
Reply-To: field.
* Click the Save button.
* Move the message back to the location of the original copy.
