I'm not the OP, but often I prefer this over forwarding as attachments.
I find it useful when I only want to forward specific bits of an email.
Rather than sending the whole message (which often has lots of quoted
text from earlier in the thread), I can easily edit the message as
needed.  I guess this is functionally similar to your "reply and edit"
suggestion.
