Editing Message Subjects

Note: After the are sent, the subjects of outgoing messages (messages sent by you) cannot be edited. However, prior to being sent, outgoing message subjects can be changed by editing the Subject: field in the message header.

To edit the subject of an incoming message, open it from its mailbox window. Notice that the subject is displayed below the title bar and above the message proper. You may edit this text as you would any other text. When editing is complete, press Enter or close the message. The new subject is displayed in the message summary. The contents of the Subject: field of the message header remain unchanged.

Note: If you reply to the message, the original subject is used for the reply, not your changed subject. This gives you the freedom to put information useful to you into the summary, without fear of your private notes being revealed to your correspondents.
