Well it did say that only the originator could edit the message, and only if unanswered. I interpreted that to mean the *first* (original) message only.

But I do see where you're coming from, and maybe it can be amended to do that.

By 'that' I assume you mean that the 'originator' of **ANY** message in the thread should have same capability.
