Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070227 Firefox/2.0.0.2
Build Identifier: 1.5.0.8 (20061110)

Consider you send a mail and mistype the recipient address. You'll get a delivery report with the original message attached. You can now open the attachment in a new window but cannot use "Edit message as new", "Forward" and all these things. "Edit message as new" would be the easiest way to resend the thing to the correct address but it's not possible! I have to create a new message and copy the text into it.

Maybe it would make sense to limit this on self-sent messages but I can't see a reason why TB shouldn't allow all actions for an attached message as long as the sender is set to a local account as you can create the same thing manually anyway.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. produce a message with another one attached
2. double click on the attachment
3 [review]. try "Message->Edit message as new"
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
I'd expect a new message window with a fully editable version of the attached message.
Forward should be working in 2.0, though there are still some glitches with some menu items, see bug 204350 comment 44.
