Hey Don and Bill, you guys are hilarious!  :-)

Please try this. With MY email in view, without hitting REPLY or going to
any other window, please change the Subject line of MY message. We're not
talking about opening a Reply window and changing the Subject line there.
You're reading this email right now. Don't change windows. Stay here and
change the subject line.

I haven't used Emailer for a long time, but I seem to recall that Emailer
has an Applescript which can change the subject line. If not, there is a
third-party script that can do it. As I said earlier, PowerMail includes,
within the basic application, an Applescript that indeed allows you to
edit the Subject line in the email that SOMEBODY ELSE sent to you.
