Outlook 2007: Change the Subject Line of Received Emails

Contributed by shamanstears

Tagged: Microsoft Outlook

Have you ever received an email containing information that is valuable to you but the subject line in no way reflects the contents of the message? It makes going back and looking for that email a major pain. By changing the subject line of the received email, you can have it better reflect the information contained within.

1. Double-click the desired message to open it.

2. Highlight the existing Subject.

3. Input the desired Subject.

4. Close the message.

5. A dialog box will appear, asking if you want to save the message. Click Yes.

At work, using Outlook 2003, I can change a subject line, in the inbox list, without opening the e-mail. Thanks for telling me the obvious. Too bad for me that I was looking for something useful, and your help is terrible. If I read "you can" a couple of more times, I will have to try something else. I CAN'T, if you don't TELL ME HOW<<--Key word, HOW.

This info was really obvious - I was hoping for a link that would tell me whether I could change the colour of the text in the subject line
