Entourage - can not edit subject line

[ckoch0815]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.0 (Cheetah)
Email Client: pop

I am not able to edit the subject line in Entourage like I could in Outlook. This is something I use ALL the time!

I tried the link below, downloaded to folder indicated, nothing changed, I restarted computer, Entourage, everything I can think of. Am I missing a step, or is there a different download for Cheetah ?

Thanks in advance.

The answer to your question has not been shown. What is the answer please ?

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.

You have to actually use the script. Just placing it in the Script Menu
Items folder doesn't fix the problem.

Select message then run script by selecting it from the menu. If you do this
a lot, assign a shortcut to run the script.
