In IMAP, you can download the message, add or modify Charles' header,

superseding in news would work in a similar fashion.  That solution
isn't incompatible with IMAP.

This is incompatible with how Supersedes works in news.  Apart from the
fact that Supersedes is frequently disabled, meaning that in practice this
would result in duplicate copies, it would also cause everyone who had
read the original to see it again each time a new annotation was added.
