Editing the subject line of a received email in Outlook 2010.
I'm not sure if this is intended or not, but a coworker of mine pointed this out to me. Are you supposed to be able to edit the subject line in an email that you receive from someone, BEFORE replying to it? For instance if you double click on an email to
view it in a separate window you can select the text in the subject field, edit it. and save it as the original.
Example here http://tinypic.com/r/2bdykh/7
In this example the subject line originally read "This is a test.". I've deleted "est." leaving what you see.
You can then save it so that it looks like the person who sent the message sent it to you with a completely different subject. (I can see where this could be used maliciously within the workplace or otherwise).
Just something i was curious about. Any thoughts?
Arjan is actually right. You can always edit the SUBJECT of a message.
It is just not so obvious how you have to do it - although Arjan described it.
This is because you first have to ENABLE editing of a message (email).
1) open one mail you want to change by double-clicking it
2) press the button which looks like a hyphan with a triangle under it in the top row on the right which opens a pull-down menu to access 'Customize Quick Access Toolbar'
3) choose 'More commands
4) customize the toolbar in the middle by 'choose commandos from': go to 'All Commands'
5) choose 'Edit message'
6) press the 'Add button' so that it gets added to the Quick Access Toolbar of an opened email / message
7) confirm by pressing 'ok'
If you now press the new (green) Edit Message button in the email you opened you can go to the subject line and change it to you needs, afterwards press the save-button
-> the email gets saved with the new subject
Once you enabled editing of an email you can easily do it for every mail without to running again through the whole procedure.
Thanks Arjan for the hint - I was already searching since long for a solution of this 'problem'. I use it to rename titles of emails which had either no subject, a wrong or misleading title. This helps me to find them easier back.

Can I change the Subject line of a saved email?
Sometimes I save an email and want to revise the subject line so it's more descriptive of what's actually in the message. I remember being able to do this in Outlook, but can't quite figure out how to do it in Apple Mail. (And I don't want o have to forward it to myself, as that changes the From line.)
Is there a way to simply edit the Subject line of a saved email?Actually, MailTags will kind of do what you want. You can tag a message in a number of ways, and one of them is to make a note, and display that note as the subject of the email. For example, I have a message:
Re: Re: Initial generic topic
Which actually contains useful information, so in MailTags I make a note "Pablo's Thesis Results" and click "Show as Subject", and now I see the subject as
Pablo's Thesis Results

How can I edit the Subject Line of an email I've received?
When the sender inserts vague or misleading text in the Subject Line (or leaves it blank), sometimes I'd like to edit it - makes organization and retrieval of information which might be in the email easier for me.
I've tried opening the email file with a text editor (TextWrangler) and editing the "Subject" line. That partially works: When the message is open for reading, my edited Subject appears near the top of the message.
However, when looking a list of emails in a Mailbox, Mail still displays the unedited Subject - which defeats my purpose.
What am I missing, here?
-gwHi Gary, I think Mail is using stored info, not sure which of these two hold that, but...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.

How can I edit the Subject Line of an ongoing thread of emails?
Is there a way to edit the Subject of an email? At times the topic of conversation changes throughout an ongoing thread of emails, and I'd like to manage that by editing the Subject before filing it into a folder.
The problem with the add-on solution is it stops working every time there is a new Thunderbird release. Editing the subject line is a fundamental feature than should be built-in. How can you possibly file incoming messages if you can't give them a meaningful subject.
It is your data. It effects no one else. -

Gmail no longer remembers cache in the subject line of a new email
Per Gmail, they are saying my browser is the cause of no longer remembering history/cache in the subject line of a new email. They suggested going to the security information on my provider and there does not appear to be any button to activate remembering that type of history/cache
Hello Kevan.
The Mail.app stores all message recipients in the list of Previous Recipients in Mail (which are stored in the Address Book data file) and the address autofill feature pulls from the Address Book and list of Previous Recipients.
At the Mail.app menu bar, go to Window and select Previous Recipients.
A previous recipient that is already entered in the Address Book will have a vCard icon to the left of the name or email address. You can remove a previous recipient from the list or add a previous recipient to the Address Book. -
Why can't I enter the cursor in the "Subject" line of my iCloud email?
Until a few days ago (May 3, 2014), I had no problem sending email from iCloud Mail on my Vaio (VPCEB11FD) laptop. Now I can do everything necessary to send an email, except complete the "Subject" line. I can send an email but I have to type my "Subject" into the email body itself, as the "Subject" box will not allow my cursor in. Can you help me with this issue?
Can you start by giving us the troubleshooting information from the Firefox installation that's having problems. This is an essential step in troubleshooting.<br>
*Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the ''Help'' menu and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the sub-menu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the menu.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
*At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
*Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*[[Image:new fx menu]] > Options/Preferences> Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*[[Image:new fx menu]] > Options/Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
*'''Windows/Mac''': Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
*'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled. -
As the question / statement says, When in Firefox, once I've started my webmail application through Go Daddy, I can compose an entire email filling out all the required info. But, when I put the mouse over the 'Subject Line' and click, no cursor appears.
Having walked through this with Go Daddy, they are convinced that it's FireFox because we opened up their webmail with 2 other browsers and both allowed me to plug in a subject line.Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

What are the switches I can add to the subject line of an eprint email?
I see some commands listed here and there but nothing comprehensive in a single location. If it were a command line I would enter "eprint -?" to get the help text listing all available commands.
Hello Arkle,
I think you meant that you can leave the body blank and it will print. If you leave the subject line blank, ePrint may see the email as spam and reject it. ePrint jobs should always be sent with a subject, but can be sent without a body. I do not mean to correct you, but that confusion could cause some problems to arise.

Delayed received emails Using Outlook 2010 and Exchange Server 2010 SP3
Hi,
Some of our users are encountering delayed emails. When our clients sent email to us, some of our clients received this an hour late, sometimes they will received this the next day.
Our users uses Outlook 2010 and our Exchange Server is 2010. We have already patch this to SP3 as it says that the delayed emails was already fixed in this SP3 but we still encounter the delayed emails.
Thanks.
Collins.Hi Collins,
In order to narrow down this issue, please use OWA to send and receive a test email, see whether the delay will still happen or not.
From your description, the issue happens when certain users receive emails from internal. I recommend you use message tracking log to determine which step delays.
Here is an article for your reference.

How do I change the subject line on incoming email
On my old PC I could easily start typing in the subject line of a received email. This would allow me to search for a name later on when looking for an invoice. I dont know how to change the subject line of an incoming email to my imac?
This site tells you how to edit the subject of a message. I just tested using OS X 10.8.5 and it worked, without altering the time & date stamp, or the original sender info.
http://email.about.com/od/macosxmailtips/qt/et_edit_receive.htm
Steps copied below:
Drag and drop the desired message out of Mac OS X Mail onto the Desktop.
Ctrl-click on the message copy on the Desktop.
Select Open With | TextEdit from the menu.
Make the desired changes to the message source.To change a message's subject, look for "Subject:" at the beginning of a line starting from the top. (hint, you can use 'Command-F' to bring up a search window to help you find the "Subject").
Close TextEdit saving the document.
Ctrl-click on the message on the Desktop again.
Select Open With | Mail from the menu this time.
Now select Message | Copy To followed by the message's original folder from the menu in Mac OS X Mail.
Close the message window.
Delete the message copy from your Desktop.
Optionally, delete the original message in Mac OS X Mail. (when I tested this, the original message was no longer there. Not sure what happened to it, but the changes worked without editing the time, date, or original sender information.) -
Editing the subject of incoming emails
I would like to be able to edit the subject of an incoming post, and then save the edited version so that I can find it easier in future.
The subject often bears no relation to a mail's contents, and can be a duplicate or fwd with a subject which is completely off-topic.
Editing the subject and then saving it is possible with Eudora (I believe), but is it possible with Mail?
If not, how can I suggest to the Leopard team to include it as an option.
I don't care whether it is a regular feature or some kind of Applescript fix.
Grateful for any ideas . . .I swear that someday the lawyers will destroy everything that is logical in this country. I've been using Eudora for years and I can edit the subject line to reflect the e-mail's content to be relevant for ME, THE USER. The content can't be edited, so that should take care of any witch hunt that MIGHT occur someday.
I switched to Mail to use it with my iPhone, but this single bone-headed "feature" renders Mail useless for me. I'm afraid to use Entourage because who knows how long MS will sell & support that product? I don't want webmail, because I want my e-mail stored on my Mac.
What other options are out there that will work easily with the iPhone and fly under the lawers' radar?
Thanks in advance,
Rick

Subject Line For Multiple Separate Emails
Hi everyone!
I am sending multiple emails and they all will have the exact same subject line. Is there a way for me to set up something so that I don't have to keep copying and pasting the subject line into every individual email? Needless to say, this is way too time consuming, but I can't just send a group email to all the people so I have to send separate emails. If anyone could help me asap I'd appreciate it! Thanks!
KathyHi Kathy.
I don’t know whether it would be an acceptable solution, but assuming this works the same in Mail 1.3 as it does in Mail 2.x (I don‘t remember), you may select an already sent message, do Message > Send Again, and change only what needs to be changed. The name of this command is actually a misnomer, as it doesn't really cause anything to be sent. It just creates a copy of the message which you can then modify and save or send just like you would do with any other draft. -
How to Edit the subject of a form that is submitted to me via email?
Is there a way to Edit the subject of a form that is submitted to me via email?
Ex. I've created multiple forms in Dreamweaver. They are submitted to my email address without problem.
When I receive them, the default subject line in my email is "Form posted from Microsoft Internet Explorer"
I want each of my forms to have their own subject line.
ThanksHi
In your form to mail script insert the following just above the actual function to send the mail -
$optional_subject = $_POST['form_subject'];
and $optional_subject in your mail function just before the body info of your email.
Insert an hidden field in your form with the id "form_subject" and the value you wish.
