are you picturing a one-time "fix this message" command, which leaves
it greppable, replyable, editable, etc, but fundamentally changed, or
more of a library of operations that are applied any time we want to
do one of those things to a message, in order to leave the original
unchanged?

i thought you were planning the former (which i think i'd prefer, if
we trusted it :-), but what you say above makes me no longer sure.
