My .02 clad coins worth: I might use this feature, but honestly, all I do now is simply forward the email as an attachment to myself, with the new subject.
Since I don't do this very often, it isn't that big of a deal, but I understand the argument for someone who may have a different workflow from me. That said, I would only support implementing this feature if the act of modifying the email was recorded. Ie, it adds a new header to the email, something like: X-SubjectModified: OLD: Blahblah; NEW: blahBlahBlahBlah In other words, the evidence (old subject) is still there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490935 Title: it is not possible to modify email subject Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Confirmed Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird Microsoft Outlook allows to modify "subject" of incoming emails. This is very very useful, especially when sender used a meaningless subject, or a simple dot. This feature should be very useful also in Thunderbird.
