Trouble is that when you edit a stored (not sent) message, the thread is broken.
If you want to retain the thread, you have to open the edit window, copy the
text into to clipboard, delete the message, re-reply or re-follow up the source
message, and paste the text into the edit window. Only then can you continue
editing. Messy!
Has this bug been fixed on 1.4.4?
