Can I Edit the From Field?

[David]

I now receive my voice mail in the forum of email messages with attached wav
files. The "from" field is the generic address of the voice mail system. I
would like to be able to edit the from field and change it to the name of the
person who left the voice mail, so that I can find it later if I need to.

If the answer is not possible, I'd like to hear suggestions about the best
way to handle this. I know there are other ways I could handle this such as
assigning the email to a contact, The issue though is that I would like
whatever method I use to work whether I keep the message in my Exchange
folder, or archive it to a pst folder.

Thank You

Open the e-mail (double-click on it). Use the Edit -> Edit Message
menu.

While you can open a message, double click on an address and change the
address or display name, it doesn't stick. It will stick if you type in the
Subject field and save and close. (No need to enter Edit mode - just put
the cursor in the subject and type.)
