As someone else pointed out, what I mean was to edit the message, save
the edited message back to the folder, then bounce that message.

Since I don't use edit-message very often, it didn't occur to me that it
would be difficult to tell the original from the new (edited) message in
the folder.  I thought edit-message marked the old message for deletion,
or somesuch.  Ah well...

Just FYI, "-o" is used to turn on options that can also be enabled with
the "O" command in the sendmail.cf file.  The two options are "i"
(ignore a single "." if it appears in the input), and "em" (if there are
errors, report them via E-mail).  Without those command-line options, a
message which happens to have a single "." on a line by itself, will
prematurely terminate the message.  And if there are delivery problems,
sendmail will try to print errors on your terminal, which wreaks havoc
with curses-based programs like Mutt.  So we choose to bounce the error
messages in E-mail instead, and users are accustomed to that, anyway.

That would do the trick.
