I used to use LookOut before switching to TB and I really miss the ability to directly edit a received message. This comes in handy in a couple of instances, as Doug already pointed out. For example, I like to edit the first line on electronic invoices that I receive from the company where I host sites at, to indicate when and how I paid the invoice, then save it to my archive folder. Another example, if I am subscribed to a mailing list in digest format and want to save only one or two posts out of a long digest message, I could delete the other posts in the digest message and just save the ones I want to keep in my archive folder. Using the memo function works, but to me it is less intuitive and not always easy to see in the message list. Plus, not only is moving the message to the outbox and then editing it there before moving it back to an archive folder cumbersome, losing the header info is a non-starter. My hope is that RitLabs will re-consider and allow direct editing of received messages in a future version.
