Like message passed on to be perused, having got tidied up? (11)
I believe the answer is:
readdressed
'like message passed on' is the definition.
(like a message sent to another address)
'perused having got tidied up?' is the wordplay.
'perused' becomes 'read' (I've seen this in another clue).
'having got' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tidied up?' becomes 'dressed' (dress can mean to decorate or tidy up).
'read'+'dressed'='READDRESSED'
'to be' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
