471750 - Edit message in Unsent Messages folder

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 40694

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Paul Guthrie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 2.0.0.19 (20081209)

There seems to be no quick way to edit a message in the 'Unsent Messages' folder.

Typically I may compose several messages ready for sending and place them in the Unsent Messages folder. Then I will do a final check over the emails before selecting 'Send Unsent Messages'.  If I need to make a correction the only way to do it is to use 'Edit Message as New', and again 'Send Later', leaving 2 versions of the message in the 'Send Later' folder (the original version and the editted version).  It would be much nicer if there could be something like an 'Edit Unsent' button (similar to the 'Edit Draft' message for message in the 'Drafts' folder), and 'Save' in this case to overwrite the original message in the 'Unsent Messages' folder.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose message, and select 'Send Later'
2. Make a change to the message in 'Send Later', and select 'Send Later' to put the editted message back in to the 'Send later' folder.
3. The result is 2 copies of the message in the 'Send later' folder, the original message and the message with the changes.
