Me too! That level of control is what made Eudora so beloved to me and others.

>> Mac Eudora had an "advanced" feature that allowed editing of received messages. When enabled, there was an "Edit" icon on the toolbar. Clicking it allowed editing of any part of the message. I used it to add notes in the body of messages, or to modify or add header fields. When done, clicking the "Edit" icon again saved the changes. Behind the scenes, Eudora used IMAP APPEND to upload the edited message and IMAP DELETE/EXPUNGE to delete the original message. Interoperable and very handy. I wish MailMate supported this!
