But the fact that you have to re-edit all those darn headers *is* a problem...
and you have to delete all of the "> " or whatever you quote with at the
beginning of the line.  What would really be nice is a simple remail command
that allows editing of the body but does not "quote" the previous mail and
sets the headers properly.
