This does NOT reproduce in version 102

This will be solved in bug 1853558, since this also affects editing multiple drafts or templates and the code is shared.

Actually, "Edit as New" for multiple messages was not covered in bug 1853558, as I've just realized. Since "Reply" and "Redirect" also don't work anymore (while "Forward" does in both flavors), I suggest the following fix, which restores the functionality.
