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.

I think think is a limitation of Exchange accounts - it should be
possible in other accounts by choosing 'edit message' from the menu.

This is broken in Entourage 2008.

Removal of edit subject was unintentional. 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.

Thanks Diane! That is the most useful and straight forward answer/suggestion
I've seen here.

I found a post elsewhere that suggested to make an applescript that fixed the problem - it follows.. josh

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"

set objMessage to item 1 of (get current messages)


set dlgReply to display dialog "Subject:" default answer (get subject of objMessage) with icon 1
if text returned of dlgReply is not "" then
set subject of objMessage to text returned of dlgReply
end if

end tell
