There is one other change that this method causes:

The date/time stamp is changed.

For most people who wish to modify this method, that wouldn't be a
difficulty.

If the mailing list was the source of the message and one subsequently
replied to the message after modifying it in the Outbox, there would
be a change--at least it's what I've understood--in references.

I think, from what I read in the discussion sometime earlier this year
on TBUDL, that it was a policy decision based on a strongly held
perception that it is wrong to make changes to Received messages.

Although you may be right, also, about difficulties presented in
writing code to implement such a feature.
