Comment 91 for bug 490935

Point of information: MailTags does NOT overwrite the original subject. The original subject displays when you view the message. The subject is only changed in the mailbox listing.

I agree that the optimum implementation, which the original Eudora does (I'm still running Eudora on my Mac and will do so until Lion) is the ability to highlight the subject and change it. Eudora has an editable subject line field at the top of the email message, as well as a Subject: display within the email that retains the original subject.

Why is this so difficult?
