Arguably it is better to edit a typo than sending another post with the

 The published article mentions that the "editing" is done by sending
a new message, containing the entire original as corrected, with an
asterisk at the top that (my words) the recipient is supposed to
_guess_ means "here's version 2 of my message".

Ok, I suppose that otherwise they would have to create a language for sending edits. Sending the message again is easier. The client software just has to recognize it as an edit and only display the latest version.
A rogue client software could send an edit an hour or a day later.
The client software might show the user both versions with a tap.
