Recent version of Skype for Windows allow to edit already sent chat messages. Unfortunately, Skype for Linux 1.4 won’t show the edited version unless you reload the chat history.

I have added to my Skype command-line tools a little script, which will warn you when someone edited a message by showing a message window. Then you just need to reload the chat history to see the new version in its context.

The Public API also allows to edit chat messages, but this is not supported by my script for now. See the Public API documentation for details.
