Not so fast. ;-) I am in favour of being able to edit received
messages. Of course, you can do it by mistake, like you can do many
things by mistake (including sending mails to the wrong recipient -
let's forbid this too!).
I often want to edit the subject line, because I keep getting messages
from airfreight offices saying "new airfreight shipment". Well, if it
weren't about an airfreight shipment, why would the airfreight office
send me an email anyway? (It's filtered into the airfreight folder, so
I know before I open the message, even before I open the folder, that
there is a message about an airfreight shipment). 10 emails with the
same subject don't help: so I want to change the subject to "shipper
name / consignee name", and in some cases add the order number or
shipment number.
This is my major reason.
Also, people tend to fullquote in the business world, and I don't want
to keep all 14K of the message. So I want to cut off the garbage.
Exporting, editing, importing is too troublesome. It should be
possible to do it on the fly. With an option to activate "Are you sure
Y/N" - "Really? Y/N" - "This is irreversible. Do you mean it? Y/N" if
you want.
