Apple Mail app will not let me edit a draft

When I go back to a draft mail I cannot edit or add to it. There is no edit button that I can see. I'm using a late 2013 MacBook Pro running BigSur that is kept up to date.


Any thoughts?

Yes.


Have just created a Test e-mail in Apple Mail and Saved it in Drafts folder as illustrated in First image below.


I Double Click the Message in the Drafts folder and a New Window appears with the Message open - see second image below


I can continue to type whatever I want and then either Save Again or once completed Send it.


In effect - there is no Edit function presented as such but reopening the Draft does allow editing
