By the way, this question has been answered a couple of times already, so
try and search the groups first; that way, you'll get your answer much
faster.
In Entourage 2004 I used to be able to edit the subject of a received message
to make it more appropriate for my filed records. Now in Entourage 2008 I
don't seem to be able to do this using the 'Edit Message' function.
Can someone show me how to do it or has this functionality been disabled?
