In another IMP-Installation here (Horde 3.1.7 and IMP 4.1.6) one could  
"resume" any mail and this would create a edit-message window with the  
user logged in as sender and to,cc,bcc,subject,body,... from the mail  
resumed.
There was even a configuration-option for that:  
$conf['user']['allow_resume_all'] and  
$conf['user']['allow_resume_all_in_drafts']

And no, this is not a template message, see (one of) our usecases below.

On of our usecases is:
One writes a message to a group of people (which is individual to  
every message) about a certain aspect of a project. Part These people  
might be not stored in our addressbook, as the belong to some single  
aspect only.
Whoever wants to add something or even just confirm pressed "resume"  
added his text an the message had exactly the same recipients as before.

Now i can:
reply to all: all to: addresses move to cc: and you have to copy them over
forward (all ways offered); the to: addresses are lost at all.

creating a template is possible manually only (at least I didn't find  
a possibility to create a template out of a message). And we do this  
single-use most of the time, so creating a template is a little bit  
oversized-

What I ask for i described in the use case above - and it existed in  
older versions of imp - so it's possible to see the behavior there.
We want to resume the message: With to, cc, bcc, subject AND  
body-text. Just as if I retyped it in this moment.

No - creating a distribution list for a single mail is nonsense.
