I have tested many cases, but there could still be bugs.

Compiling rmailedit.el currently gets me:
In rmail-edit-diff-headers:
rmailedit.el:289:23:Warning: reference to free variable `old'

What tests are needed in order to check for bug presence (except
changing headers) ? Which leads to: what is the need behind this
feature ? It is not clear to me.

Obviously, editing a mail message should support editing its headers
as well, don't you think?

Certainly sounds reasonable to me, tho I don't use rmail:
If you present the message for editing without the headers, it would
seem weird -- the user normally sees the headers, and thinks of them as
being part of the message -- but if you include the headers in the
editing buffer, they should be editable...

More importantly: the main modification I ever feel like making to
messages is to change the subject, so that I can find them more easily
in the summary.

Indeed (I thought there was a more complex need behind this).
