Unfortunately, "Edit As New" is implemented by Thunderbird in the same
way as "Edit from Template". In other words, all flags and references
in the editor window are identical for both cases, which makes it
impossible to distinguish the two cases. We have a special logic for
handling templates and drafts, and a different logic for replies.

I cannot mix the two without breaking some cases, thus the answer is
"sorry, not possible".
