I don't know if the agent currently has any concept of editing...?

The backends where the agent makes most sense, ie. nntp and nnimap, are
currently backends that don't support article editing.

Backends that _do_ allow editing, are eg. nnml.  That is: local mail
backends (or at least one of them).
