Hi Allie,

Historians believe that Wednesday, October 31, 2001 at 16:50 GMT -0500
was when, Allie C Martin [AM] typed the following:

Well, ok, I admit the feature could be useful.  However, I strongly
disliked Outlook's implementation.  I wouldn't complain if TB made it
extremely obvious that you were about to edit a message.  There would
also have to be a way to recover your original message in case you
still managed to accidentally edit a message.

That could be even more confusing.  Does the edit message editor look
very similar to the new/reply message editor?

AM> This is what I do.

Another solution could be to incorporate it into the View Source
feature.  Instead of using an internal viewer only, perhaps it could
be made an option to use an external editor.  Of course there are some
complications in that scenario, but you get the picture.
