With Mozilla Thunderbird you can do Message->Edit as new, and then add
more attachments or type more stuff. when you then save the message as
draft it will be saved with your modifications to the draft folder.
Alternatively you can do then Tools->send copy to->[any email folder]
but you have to also send it or save as draft for the copy to be
stored. 

You can also remove attachments from messages you received, and I think
I remember reading somewhere that you can also add attachments to
existing messages, but I failed to figure out how to do it.

Regarding the second feature request mentioned on issue 132626, GNOME
Evolution, while also having "Edit as new" (though its always disabled -
I can't figure out when it is enabled) have also an option to "post new
message to folder", allowing you to quickly add notes to an email folder
in the form of "internal messages".

Indeed, though these feature are mostly local to the offending user, so
I don't think they can adversely affect other users who don't like this
abuse, unlike with MS-Excel which allows people to send me databases, UI
designs, use cases, to do lists, protocol specifications and what not in
the form of unparsable XLS files :-(
