Michael P. Soulier proclaimed on mutt-users that: So, if not to resend a message, the point of editing an existing message is what? I'm curious as to how people are using this feature. To add annotations to a mail, for example. Or to fix broken MIME headers of some kind or the other. +suresh -- Suresh Ramasubramanian + Wallopus Malletus Indigenensis mallet @ cluestick.org + Lumber Cartel of India, tinlcI If God had meant for us to be naked, we would have been born that way.

I'm curious as to how people are using this feature. 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).) David [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. -- Live in a world of your own, but always welcome visitors.

Yeah, I can actually think of a few applications for this. What do you use to enter the data into the mailbox in the first place? Do you email it to yourself, or simply edit a blank file?
