Research direction
Trace how series cover-letter messages are stored and selected when a revision is created from an email without a cover letter. Verify the behavior with an existing series and revisions both with and without messages. Done means the original message remains available when the new revision has none, while a new message replaces it.

Description
Cover letter message for a series becomes unavailable after a new revision is created from an email sent without a cover letter message, for example, a new version sent as a reply to one of the original patches.
Original cover letter message for a series should be kept if a new revision doesn't have one, or be replaced by the new one if it exists.
