If you are talking about protecting an email message, there's no need. No
one can really change an email message after it's been received...

Uhhh...
Yes you can. I do this all the time:
* convert from bloated html to plain text
* delete all the forwarding headers
* delete all 5 instances of 20 lines of disclaimer
and finally I move the cleaned email to my 'Important emails that I
want to keep' folder.

So messages in my Inbox aren't emails? I am able to open an email, make
changes and when I close it by clicking the X in the upper right, it asks if
I want to save changes. I say yes and the email (or non-email) is still
located in my Inbox but looks the way I want it to. I can still forward it,
reply to it, etc. But it isn't an email? What is it?
Neiter would the original, because can you tell a difference between an
original email and an edited email? An email can even be changed during
transmission! Think about all the spam and virus scanners that add
their footer, or automatic disclaimers. That's the essential
uncertainty about email: you can never be 100% sure it arrives the way
you send it.
The only thing that would be foolproof is a digitally signed PDF file
in attachment.
