I used to have the same opinion before I had a mailer that made it so
easy. With mutt I do occasionally edit messages:
- to use a message in my inbox as a primitive to-do list, or for
notes, or to hold a list of URLs that I want to remember to view
at some later time.
- to remove uneeded attachments when archiving a discussion thread.
For example a co-worker produces some software my own project
depends on, and has lately been mailing me prerelease versions for
testing. I want to keep the discussion itself, but I don't need
all of the attachments since most of them have been superceded by
later versions.
