Dear All, One of the things I do like about outlook is the ability to change the subject lines of received e-mails. I have several clients that send me mails with subjects like: "New Inquiry", 'Old Quote' , 'New Order'. After a couple of months looking at / finding e-mails is a paign in the ass. My mail client of choice is Kmail, and as far as I see I can't do this. Does anyone have any suggestions how I could get round this either with or without kmail. Regards, Jethro
Hello Jethro, In Mutt, if you press 'e' when the message is selected, you will be able to edit the whole message, including headers. HTH Corvin On Wed, Mar 07, 2001 at 12:58:41PM +0800, Jethro Cramp wrote:

Hi Corvin, Thanks for the info. Don't really want to use Mutt but will keep it near the top of my options list

Primitive, but... move the message to the drafts folder and press t. It allows you to edit received messages. Hope it helps, _____________ Alvaro Novo SuSE 7.1 -=- Kernel 2.4.2-4 -=- KDE 2.1 11:12pm up 3 days, 7:12, 7 users, load average: 0.12, 0.20, 0.34
Dear Álvaro, Thanks for the pointer. Hadn't thought of this as a 'solution' but will keep it as a handy workaround. Regards, Jethro

I have been looking at some other ideas and would like to put them up for reviews and suggestions. Reading the kmail documentation I found out that you can pipe messages to external programs. The output of the program replaces the e-mail. I was thinking I could write a script in Python, pop-up a box to get the new subject and then send the changed message to stdout. Seems like a little bit of overkill for what I want to do. Maybe mutt is looking attractive again. Jethro

Move it to the 'outbox' Edit it using 'Messaage --> Edit" Use the "Que" option to save your changes Move it from the 'Outbox" (where que sent it) to the folkder it was orgininally in. JLK On Tuesday 06 March 2001 22:58, you wrote:
