I use mbox formatted files to store information in addition to
storing email messages I have received from or send to others. A
mail program can then be used to manipulate the information in the
mbox'es.[1] Being able to edit messages selected while using a mail
program to "view" an mbox file is a handy feature. For annotation,
as Suresh wrote, but also to change information when desired. (When
I somtimes use mailx, I make heavy use of the 'v' key (edit message
using screen editor).)

[1] Certainly a text editor may be used, but it is nice also to have
the additional selection and manipulation features offered by a
mail program.
