Here my proposal how to have your cake and eat it, too: Editing a mail creates a '''copy''' of it. Just a line is added to header of the original mail, looking like "''X-Penelope-EditedCopy: location=XYZ''". In the mail browser, you may select between the original and the edited copy. The same mailbox would be a reasonable place to keep the edited copy. | Here my proposal how to have your cake and eat it, too: Editing a mail creates a '''copy''' of it.
