[RFE?] "Edit Message as New" should delete existing message from outbox when the
new version is saved/sent.

IMVHO this should delete the old/existing unsent message.  Not really a bug, I
suppose, but a feature.  Or have other people requested the existing functionality?

I guess it should also offer a "save/send as new message" option which would
duplicate current functionality.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a unsent messagesave/send msg.
2. "Edit Message as New"
3. change the message
4. Click "Send/Send later"

Actual Results:  Old (original) message is still in outbox.

Expected Results:  Original message should have been deleted.

No no no. This would cause unwanted dataloss, and we *don't* want that. That I
can assure you.

Marking wontfix.

You should ba able to open (as draft) an unsent message by double-clicking on 
it. In this case we will replace the old one when you save ut. If that doesn't 
work, please file a new bug.
