Changes the date and time on it - no good if those are important.

My reply...

PopFile has the ability to use headers only.  Use headers only and
there is no visible "spam" declaration.

Hello TBUDL,

Dang, that was too easy. Thanks for this tip, it works great.

I had the same problem with PopFile and was watching this thread.
After reading this solution, I find it the fastest and easiest way to
change the Subject line.

Thanks again...

Not if you use the UNIX format. That stores the receive date/time in the
exported file, and retains it when you import it.

Here's my solution to editing a received message without changing header
date/time.

The following filter writes the message to a text file and then runs a
cmd file (D:\Batch\editmsg.cmd) that opens it in my text editor, and
when the editor is closed re-imports it into the inbox of my account
named "personal". To change the account name, change the parameter at
the end of the line that starts "RunExternal".

The filter is executed by CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-E.

Change to suit your paths and text editor. Note that this is as
automatically converted from a v2 filter to a v3 filter, so it might
benefit from some tuning.

No (very) easy ways, as I know. You can edit headers, including the
subject field, only if you save a message to disk, and then edit it
using some text editor - and then importing the message again in TB.
But, the receiving time will not be original one any more.

If you have a fine bunch of such messages then a toll for mass-search
and replace might be of some help.

Yes I thought of that but the problem of later re-filtering remains
doesn't it? Whatever the 'mark' and whatever the filter condition
still needs to be altered to prevent later filtering back into the
spam folder.

Why not disable this "option" in Popfile and filter instead on

X-Text-Classification: spam

in the header?

You can edit the option in Popfile in the buckets area.

Editing subject in stored email

[admin]

POPFile amedns the subject with a word such as [spam] prepended.

I find the email is not spam and teach POPFile acordingly but then I
want to store that email in the correct folder.

If I re-filter the folder for other reasons then the [spam] email gets
refiltered to the Spam folder.

So...

I need to be able to edit the subject of the email to remove the
[spam] prependation (ohh I like that word!).

If I go to the mailbox and open it in a text editor I don'r seem to be
able to achieve the effect desired.

Any easy ways? Any thoughts?
