I think it actually deletes the original message and > saves a new one (with a new UUID or whatever it's called). 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. Dan
