Yes, except the resend-message drops you in the editor to edit the
message text, and after that you're returned to the compose menu as
usual. However Fcc is empty, even if you've modified the message
contents. You can manuall add a Fcc but it would be nice if it was
there automatically. There might be some tricky issues there with
regards to fcc-hooks and such that I'm not thinking of here, though.

Yes, this has changed in the developement versions. The functions of
edit-message and resend-message have been separated. With edit-message
you get the full message text and all headers in your editor, and when
you exit the editor, the message is re-read and placed in the index.
No more w(rite) function calling from the compose menu. It works much
better this way. :-)
