Changing the subject of a message


  • Subject: Changing the subject of a message

The inability to change the subject of a received message seems to be the major complaint of Eudora users who have switched to mail.app. Here is an applescript that will let you do this.

Select the message whose subject you want to change and then run this script.

tell application "Mail"
set theMessage to item 1 of (the selection as list)
set the subject of theMessage to my getNewSubject(subject of theMessage)
end tell

on getNewSubject(OldSubject)
return text returned of (display dialog "Enter the new subject of the message and press Enter." default answer OldSubject)
end getNewSubject


However, after the script runs, you will have to click out of the message folder and then back into it in order to see the change.
