Instead of sending it to yourself, you should be able to save as draft and then move it from the Drafts folder to where you want it to be. good call!

Change the name in the Save Message As navigation window to the name you really want, and save it to a folder for such messages. When you go to open such a file (an .eml file), it will open in a SeaMonkey Mail-News window. that's saving a message as a file outside of SM entirely, not renaming a message. I'd seen that. GW Geoff, how about. when you find a message you want to keep, 1) Click Reply to the message, 2) Go Off-line 3) Edit the Subject so you know what it's about 4) Click Send Later 5) This stored the message in the Outbox of my Local Folders 6) Manually move this message into the SeaMonkey folder where you want to store it 7) Go back on-line and continue reading. This seems to work for me, except it appears as though I made the final post in the saved message, when I didn't actually type anything, so my name/email address/etc has replaced your name/email address/etc and the message starts with David E. Ross wrote Yes. I thought of similar idea, using Edit as New, and then Save As Draft, and then moving it. It seems to me, that a very long time ago, it never occurred to the developers of the email system, that MOST people would be terrible at creating the Subject line of messagesso Change Title was never added to the context menus. I mean seriously, we all have seen message subjects like Hows it going and deeep in the body is well, my wife's dad died yesterday e.g., and we wanna remember that, (but can understand why the orig message Subject wasn't Larry is DEAD).

Edit as New and then changing the subject, and then sending it to myself seems a cheesy workaround. GW I've often thought that the subject input point should be the LAST PART of an email message, as often you don't know what the subject should be until you've written the message or added the file you want to send. It really takes some thought to dream up a good subject line BEFORE you write your message, most people aren't that gifted. I'm not. I try to leave the subject blank, write my message and then go back to write the subject title. Often forget, and send an email with a blank title, unless the software asks me to fill one in. Like the subject of this post, it's really a part of the body of the message post. After writing this post, the writer would have some meat to chew on and might have created the subject of this post as: EDITING THE SUBJECT LINE OF INCOMING EMAIL rather than: Can we rename messages somehow? -- Takes more than talk to get things done. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Well, there's always the hard way: 1) Within SeaMonkey, move the message to a folder where it will be the oldest or only message, so it will appear first in the file. If you like, create a temporary folder for the purpose. For discussion purposes, let's call it FolderName. Ideally, it should have no subfolders. 2) Close SeaMonkey, locate the file FolderName (no extension) in your SM profile directory. 3) Open it with Notepad or some other plain-text editor, edit the Subject line in the header, save. 4) Relaunch SM, confirm that the subject line has been changed. 5) Drag and drop the message to the folder where you really want to archive it. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.
