Editable messages after receipt?

greetings,
a coworker asked me if it is possible to do something in apple's mail, on saturday... this is a feature that he uses in eudora frequently. i also was used to using on occasion when i used eudora...
is it possible in apple's mailreader to edit a received message? for example, on occasion someone forgets to put a subject. eudora has the ability to change the message from "read-only" to "writable", so the recipient could type in something in the blank subject line. this helps when one needs to be able to find the message again later...
my coworker told me that he not only uses the "make message writable" in eudora to fix subject line problems, but he also adds in a "keyword" to important message he want's to be able to find later, by searching for the keyword... at my job, we work on many different "projects". my friend told me that he also enters the project name as part of the keyword. (usually people don't put in the project name on email messages, unless the message comes from a list server). this can be very helpful if one wants to set up a rule to automatically transfer messages to another mailbox based upon the project or even the keyword if it is a message that he wants to safe... because email has become our communications trail, we often have to go back to the email to see how we handled something or what we agreed to do to finish a task.
i'm involved in our macintosh user's group at work and get lots of questions like this where people use features in other programs and are looking for similar solutions in apple's software... it is interesting to see how diverse the feature set is across all the different software tools... obviously no one program would or could have every possible feature. but the various features are usually solving a problem. so sometimes the different programs will have different ways to solve the same problem...
anyway, i haven't run across the ability to modify a message after it was received in apple's mail. but there are many features hiding in apple mail... so i may not have run across it yet. hopefully, there is some way to address this topic...
any suggestions on this?
thanks-

sorry but that's absolutely impossible in Mail. the best you can do is open the .emlx file with the actual e-mail in a text editor and edit it by hand there.
as for adding a keyword, try [Mailtags|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27730].

  • Editing messages after the hour is up.

    I have noticed that sometimes way after the hour time frame has gone I can edit or remove messages sometimes this doesn't happen all the time but it seems to happen if the person doesn't seem to have read it yet.
    I sent a message earlier today but can still edit it or remove it even though several hours have passed but with earlier messages in the day I can't though I do not think the person has read the message that I can edit.
    Just wondering if anyone knows why this could be happening , I have only ever seen old messages on this topic and they all say you can't edit after an hour so I am confused.
    I have the new version of skype that can send offline messaging

    I bet that didn't continue.
    What I'm seeing today is the opposite: instead of the usual hour, it changes to other lesser times. An hour ago, it was 15 minutes. Then it became 30 minutes. Now it's up to 45.
    What gives?  I hope it's not in the process of being lowered to 15 minutes for all. A friend still has 60 right now. Same Skype version.

  • How to restore edited messages after Thunderbird crash?

    I work with several messages opened usually to check details of a conversation or for preparing the answer. When Thunderbird crashes all these open messages are lost. Some I edited are in the Drafts, the ones I just viewed are lost.
    Is there a way to restore a Thunderbird session? For Firefox this is a standard, for TB it should be as well.

  • I'm getting an error message after importing a table through Dreamweaver into a page developed in Muse.

    I'm getting a couple of messages after importing a table through Dreamweaver into a page developed in Muse. I have compared the code of the page with the table with the page before I inserted the table and cannot find anything missing. the web address is http://gourmetdreams.com/weekly-menu.html
    How can I clear this up?
    I also noticed that when I uploaded the file there was one error: "- error occurred - Access denied.  The file may not exist locally,  may be open in another program, or there could be a local permission problem."

    Thanks for your help! I imported the table into Muse, then exported the site as html and opened it in Dreamweaver. I should've tried that in the first place but gave up when I couldn't edit it in Muse. I didn't know you could edit the html right in Muse. Also, my styling and the images I was using weren't showing up in Muse but once I opened it in Dreamweaver, everything fell into place. AND I could edit it! My client needs to edit this page every week, so I needed to be sure she could do that. She doesn't use Muse but does use Dreamweaver. At this point, I think I'll leave it alone and not try to style it with inline css. Maybe when I get a little more time, I'll try it. I just don't want to mess things up now that the're working.

  • Error messages after upgrading kernel (devfs to udev) [SOL]

    when installing the new kernel i got a message to change my menu.lst so it changed "/dev/discs/disc0/part3" to "/dev/hda3" (and nothing else) cause of udev instead of devfs.
    after rebooting i get few error messages:
    [after network start]
    SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
    eth0: unknown interface: No such device
    SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
    etho0: unknwon interface: No such device

    kjs wrote:I'm also having an issue after upgrading neither eth0 nor eth1 are showing up in /dev .... I think it's due to the switch from devfs to udev...
    for the record - network interfaces never show up in /dev - they're not normal devices
    edit: I guess I should provide some help...
    ifconfig and "ifconfig -a" will list network devices (also in /proc/net somewhere).  If you do not have a network device that means that your module is not properly loaded for that device.
    This should have nothing to do with a devfs/udev switch and everything to do with a kernel upgrade.
    Just for some more info, can you please report the output of:
    · lsmod
    · uname -r
    · ls /lib/modules
    · ifconfig -a

  • Misuse of the "Edit Message" functionality in forums.

    Hi,
    I have been observing for some time now that some users are actually misusing the option of editing their forum post. This is partly due to the fact that the time stamp for the message is not updated when the edit is done. It still shows the time when it was posted.
    Especially in the ABAP Programming Forum, there's a mad rush (among a few people) to be the first one to answer the question. In this hurry they are often making a post with an incorrect answer. Later on when they are told that what they have said is incorrect, they are simply editing the post and inserting the correct answer, which is known by then. This is sometimes resulting in multiple correct answers to a question and in the occassional case where the user wants to reward the correct answer, the points would actually go to these edited messages, because of their timestamp.
    In a few other cases, the questions are being edited by the guy asking the question. Especially after having received some answers. When the question changes, the answers aren't correct any longer, obviously. At a later point someone attempting to answer the question would be left wondering why this question had had so many wrong answers!!
    It sounds too string a step to take to remove this functionality. But may be we could allow this with some reservations. For example -  all the content that has been deleted from a post can be highlighted (a function that is similar to the Modification Assistant in SAP or the Reviewing feature in MS-Word).
    What say ?

    Anand Mandalika.

    Hi Everyone,
    Wow, the point system is driving good and bad behavior.
    We are watching/being part of an evolution of a system.
    We have switches actually to deal with the problem.
    1) Users can edit their message as long as their are no replies to it.
    2) Users may edit their posts but only for a specific amount of time (for example 15 minutes) after posting a message.  
    Problem with number one is if people are posting really fast your window of opportunity to change your post is small.
    Problem with number two is you still can play the game and post as the first one and wait 10 minutes for the correct solution to come in and correct your solution in the remaining 5 minutes. But we could set the window to 10 minutes.
    Let me know which one you prefer and I will change it accordingly.
    Will be interesting, Mark.

  • Message after PCain-Step

    Hi specialists,
    the process-chain-management makes it possible to send a message after each process-chain-step.
    It is possible to send different messagess depending on the RC of the step.
    I expected that the configured message is to be sent to the user exactly as I defined it, but I noticed that the msg-body seems to be ignored completely and instead a lot of technical information (=the protocol of the process-chain) is send.
    Is there a way to configure the mentioned function in a way that my configured body is sent instead of the log? Or am I forced to use a abap-program to send my message, instead of the "send message after process-step" ?!
    Best regards,
    Marco

  • Error messages after every use of pacman

    I'm getting error messages after every use of pacman. Don't know if it's compromising the usage, but it's quite annoying. The messages are the following:
    /sbin/ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libicudata.so.38.0 is truncated
    /sbin/ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libicudata.so.38 is truncated
    /sbin/ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libicudata.so is truncated
    /sbin/ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libicudata.so.38.0 is truncated
    /sbin/ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libicudata.so.38 is truncated
    /sbin/ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libicudata.so is truncated
    Any guesses?

    Because the file you get errors about is owned by that package, I'd try a normal reinstallation first though, the f flag isn't the safest one...

  • I have set the Message History setting to delete messages after 30 days. Since doing this, Messages app is quite buggy.

    I have no need to keep huge, old Messages conversations, so I recently set the Message History to delete messages after 30 days. Since doing this, however, I have noticed that the Messages app has become fairly buggy. Sometimes I'll open the app and it will look like there's no conversations, and the app prompts me to send a new message. Sometimes, I'll open the app to reply to an incoming message and my response will hang at 90% sent and then when I go back to the conversation list, it displays my outgoing, as-yet-unsent response as a new message, complete with little blue new message marker. The only way I have found to temporarily resolve these issues is to restart the phone. What's going on here?

    Hi,
    According to your description, I understand that you need to apply a rule to delete messages older than 30 days for all mailboxes in your environment. Is it right? If I misunderstand, please point it out.
    As all above suggestions, we can use retention tags and retention policies in Exchange 2013 to achieve it. To apply it, we can try the following steps:
    1. Login to Exchange Admin Center(EAC) in Exchange 2013 as an administrator.
    2. Click compliance management > retention tags.
    3. Click New Tag > applied automatically to entire mailbox(default).
    4. Edit the Name, Retention action and Retention period(30 days), then
    Save it.
    5. Click Retention Policies tab > New.
    6. Edit Name and add the Retention tags you created a moment ago. And
    Save it.
    7. Navigate to Recipients > Mailboxes.
    8. In the list view, use the Shift or Ctrl keys to select multiple mailboxes.
    9. In the details pane, click More options.
    10. Under Retention Policy, click Update.
    11. In Bulk Assign Retention Policy, select the retention policy you created to apply to the mailboxes, and then click
    Save.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks,

  • Text Message Read Receipt

    Can someone tell me how to set up a text message read receipt on a Nokia 6030? So if I send someone a text I will get a text message back once they have received it. Thanks

    There are other codes that you can type at the beginning of the message if you want confirmation, I'm not sure of them all..
    02 = *0# (Star Zero Hash) No need to put a space after before your text
    Orange = RCT (not sure if you have to put a space after it)

    Have had the same issue - and conflicts between PC, Ipad and Iphone.  Gained 6000 names and lost contacts or contact contents.  Have had to edit on PC.  Spoke with Apple Express and was advised to do editing only on PC and then sync.  Was also told not to use Icloud until problems had been solved.  Have spent last two weeks recreating my contacts list.
    Haven't yet bothered to reclaim my missing paid ring tones.
