Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Email Client: pop

On previous version of entourage you could go to "edit message" and it would allow you to change the email subject before saving to email folder, project folder etc. I receive all faxes direct to computer and always has just efax subject. i would like to change subject for easy retrieval when looking in email folders ? is this possible

Hi,

this functionality got removed by accident during the move from Entourage
2004 to Entourage 2008. However, you can download an AppleScript that does
this for you, and you can find it here:

<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/downloads/scripts/edit_subject.zip>

Once it is downloaded and unzipped, put it inside ~/Documents/Microsoft User
Data/Entourage Script Menu Items. If you select a message in Entourage,
click on the black scroll icon in the menu bar and select the script; you
can then rename the message that is currently selected. You should also read
an article titled "About the Script menu" in Entourage's help, as that one
will tell you how you can attach a keyboard shortcut to the script.

NOTE: Due to a limitation in Entourage, you can only rename a local message.
In other words, if you rename a message, only the local copy of the message
is affected, whereas the message on the server remains unchanged. If, for
whatever reason, you need to rebuild the cache and Entourage has to
re-download the messages from the server again, the original subject lines
will still be there.
