Version: 2008 Processor: Intel Email Client: pop would like to know if i can change the subject line once i have received an e-mail. Can this be done like it is on Microsoft windows?? please help luigy
No. I tried the same thing, and it doesn't work in Entourage. This is a feature I enjoyed on Windows. For example, I'll take my phone messages from vonage and change the subject to include the caller's name. But it doesn't work in Entourage.

According to developers- when we changed the appearance of mail headers, the dev removed this feature. Adding it back in after the change ended up being very risky and we decided to focus elsewhere. Download Edit Subject script and place it in your Entourage script menu items folder inside the Microsoft User Data folder to change subject. <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/downloads/scripts/edit_subject.zip> -- Diane

That's a shame.
