Resuming editing on a “draft” message only works with messages that
conform to MailMate’s internal formatting models, either plain text or
markdown (as created by MailMate). Other mail clients, e.g., Apple Mail,
may use text formatting that MailMate cannot operate on. In those
circumstances, you can only use “Edit as New Message…” on the
message in the Drafts folder. This will extract the message contents
MailMate can recognize into a new MailMate composition window, but you
will lose formatting.
This restriction also applies to quoting messages formatted using other
mail clients. If you reply to a message, the contents will be quoted and
keep its formatting, but if you attempt to edit the quoted section, it
will lose its original formatting and be converted to markdown.

# Summary
Not possible to continue editing draft messages.
# Where
I started writing an email in Apple Mail and saved it to Drafts.
Now I see these messages in the Drafts folder in MailMate.
# What I do
I see the messages in the Drafts folder.
- When I click on a message, I see the preview below the message list.
- When I double-click a message, the Mail Viewer opens.
# What I see
Now I want to continue editing the messages.
- I only see a "Send" option, but I do not want to send it without
making changes.
- I tried:
- Edit as New Message - embedded images are gone
- Forward - the current text is quoted instead of normal text, and
the prefilled email addresses are gone.
# What I expected
- In the Drafts folder, I expect a menu item like "Edit Message before
sending..."._______________________________________________
