I read my IMAP mail with Gnus 5.8.2 and nnimap. There are times that
I would like to edit a message in my INBOX on the IMAP server.
When I try 'e' in the Summary buffer (gnus-summary-edit-article), I get
a message
"The current newsgroup does not support article editing"
I can use 'C-u e' to force editing, but the message is still not changed
on the server.
Is what I'm trying to do not possible with IMAP, or am I just going about it
wrong?
Thanks,
-Jim

IMAP does not support article editing. There was talk on the nnimap
mailing list of frobbing Gnus such that it deletes the old article and
adds a new one in such cases, but AFAIK this hasn't been done (yet?).

A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with.
