I understand the workflow.  I would recommend you use the "Create a
Task" or "Create a Memo" options - this is pretty much what they are
for.  That copies the e-mail to a task or memo to which you can perform
a variety of operations.  Memos are great, and overlooked.

Yea, but you don't work this users.  Users will get *very* confused by
this, I guarantee it.  They will edit an e-mail, read it later, and
think that was the contents - unless the edit is *very* clearly distinct
from the message.  I guarantee it.
