I have found that there is the chance of the internal editor corrupting
the file between the time of pressing the [Reply] button and the editing
screen coming up, which of course is before you can send it to the
outbox.

That's when there is only one message waiting to be sent. What about the
second one, and the third, and so on?
Look, I fully understand what you are saying. I could do exactly the
same, in fact I have used QEDIT to open the messages saved in the
various boxes, but it is a messy and cumbersome way to do things.
Have you heard of the man with the car that wouldn't do a left turn, due
to a fault in the steering? The mechanic told him how easy it is to do a
right turn at the next corner, then another right and another one, and
he'd be in the street that he was trying to turn into in the first
place.
It strikes me that your method, although it works, is of the same ilk.
