I am using one based on the original message you remember. It has a
single filter, triggered by a hotkey (Ctrl+Alt+E), that:
   * exports the message to a text file (Unix mailbox format)
   * runs a batch file to load this in my favourite editor (ultraedit)
   * re-imports the modified message into my inbox

The filter is

BeginFilter
Name: Revise Message
Active: 1
Source: \\Personal\Inbox
Target: \\Personal\Trash
CopyFolder: \\\\none
MainSet: 00
Actions: 
faExport,faExternal,faoExportOver,faoRunDetached,faoManualOnly,faoWaitCompletion,faoHotKey,faoHKCheckMsg,faoSaveUnix

SaveTemplate:

SoundTime: 0:00-0:00
AllowTime: 0:00-0:00
EndFilter

The d:\batch\editmsg.bat file reads
"D:\Program Files\UltraEdit\UEDIT32.EXE" e:\temp\edit.txt
d:\progra~1\thebat~1\thebat.exe /importu=%1;f="Inbox";X;R;IN=e:\temp\edit.txt

You will note that the batch file includes a parameter that is the
nambe of the account that I want it imported into. That way I have the
same filter in two accounts, but by changing that parameter, I can get
it re-imported into the same account that it came out of. You will
need to adjust the filter line:
>ExtCmd: d:\batch\editmsg.bat personal
to suit your account names
