That sounds like a good idea. But it appears to me that (thinking of the
current "re-threading" implementation) TB has no real way of altering
message headers once they're in the messagebase.

Perhaps the whole thing should be an administrative setting: a "revision
proof" mode that does not allow changes, and a "normal user" mode that
allows changes to be made.

A while ago some (cough-cough) people here had a heated discussion on
whether its OK for gmail to scan mails & show ads fitting the content. It
was argued then that, once a message is sent, you no longer own it, and the
recipient may do whatever he wants with it. I can agree with that. After
all, I'm free to throw away page two of my insurance invoice, or page three
of a letter from my mother, whenever I want to.
