Changing the Subject in Outlook email messages

Make your email messages easier to find!
We all save email messages that are important to us. But many times the “subject line” doesn't quite describe the content or the reason you wanted to save the message. This makes it difficult to find the message without performing a search.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could change the subject line to something else? You can do this easily in Outlook 2000 and 2003:
  • Open the message
  • Highlight the text in the Subject field and retype with a more descriptive or informative title.
  • Select File/Save. (If you close the message before saving changes, Outlook will ask whether you wish to save
    changes first.)

This is especially helpful when an email thread has changed topics, but the subject line still refers to the original topic.
