If all you want to do is manually edit a received
message, that is fairly easy to do (as long as you
don't mind moving it when you are done).

To "edit in place" we need a functioning %FolderName
macro that returns the full folder name.  I have been
asking for that for well over a year.  Until my most
recent request last week, I have never received a
response from Ritlabs - 9Val didn't say he planned to
do anything about it - but he thought it was a good
idea.

The feature many of us really want is the ability to
automatically manipulate a message BEFORE it hits the
inbox - so the filtering system acts on the modified
message.  A simple example is to clean up the subject
line without having to resort to using external
utilities, such as X-Ray (a great tool but missing the
wonderful TB! features).

I agree with others that an email client should add
things, on its own, to incoming or outgoing email
unless the user can easily reverse what it has done.

TB! violates this.  For example, it adds identifying
headers to outgoing email that can't be changed without
an external tool.

Because of this sort of thing, which I believe is
compliant with email "rules", we also need pre-send
filtering.

Many of us have been asking for pre-inbox and pre-send
filtering for years.
