Steinar is right, this is how it works, since IMAP messages are
immutable.
I edit IMAP messages a lot using `C-o' on an attachment button to
save an attachment and leave a pointer to the file, but this usually
messes up the summary buffer, so I often have to reenter. It also
doesn't reliably delete the old version of the message, so I sometimes
have to do this manually.
