I guess not. You have to call TB with the /import command switch
from your editor (if it allows) to get it back into TB. You won't
get two instances of TB; it's just another thread of the running TB.

Right.

I'm afraid not. It would be a nice feature to have. If you're trying
to edit your message headers before sending it out, there's a
third-party utility (IIRC, it's called X-Ray) for it. Otherwise
we'll out of luck for now. On a related note, being able to edit
received mail right in TB is a feature in great demand. But RIT has
got such a long list of wishes that we'll just have to wait and see.
