I'm not sure what you mean when you say "sets the headers properly."  That's
rather subjective and varies from use to use.

You can edit the body without having it set off by citation characters if you
use the method an earlier contributor to this thread suggested: f)orward,
say (for now) that you DON'T want to edit the message (that prevents the
insertion of citation characters), and then, when you get to the s)end, e)dit,
h)eaders, or f)orget prompt, it's your chance to select e)dit and make
changes to the body.
