Read-only items are not read-only

I imported two messages from Outlook as siblings. Trying 3 times, with .msg configured to display in the browser (Tools | Options | Browser | File extensions to display in internal browser view), then text editor (Tools | Options | Editor | File extensions to display in text editor), and then MIME viewer (Tools | Options | Documents | File extensions to display in MIME viewer), I was unable to edit the message body of either message.

Under 'Browser' .msg is in "File extensions to display in internal ..."
Under 'Editor' .msg is not in "File extensions to display in text editor".
Under 'Documents' there is nothing at all in "File extensions to display in MIME viewer".
Under 'Documents' .msg is one of many extensions in "File extensions to open stored documents writeable".
Under 'Documents' .msg is not in 'File extensions to edit/view externally".

Thanks,
Mark.

It's Internet Explorer that actually displays the message content when .msg is configured to display in the browser view. IE didn't allow editing of messages in my tests, so I'm not sure what's different there. Maybe try removing .msg from the File extensions to open stored documents writeable option.
