In Office 04, you would go to Edit Message in the Message section of the tool
bar and then you could change the subject for easier identification/filing of
the message.. In Office 08, changing the subject is not an option. Is this
being corrected, or do I need to know a different way to change the subject of
a received email?
Look forward to so insight.
