I lost my subject line.. How do I put in? I have the From, Received, Size and Flag categories but I want my subject category back. How do I do that?

Perfect – this is the response that i think most people were looking for. If you want to save some steps, you can also right click the column bar (where from, subject, received etc are) then select “customize current view” – other settings and check “Allow in-cell editing” The downside is that you will have to do this for every folder and each “view” in which you wish to allow in cell editing. Note that you will need to click the e-mail you want to modify (which selects it in the list) then click AGAIN to get into edit mode. Also, if an e-mail has been set as private – you will not be able to change the subject.

About 75% of the emails I receive from all sources comes across with “SPAM” in the Subject line so when I forward or reply and fail to edit it, it goes out that way too…not what I would like. I have used Outlook for many years and this is the first experience I've had like this…

Is this an Outlook function or could it be due to virus protection software? If it is an Outlook issue, how do I stop this from happening? I've been through all Junk mail options and elsewhere and don't find anything about any “SPAM” tag. I appreciate your help.

To change the subject line without opening the email.

go to >View menu >current views >define views >modify -Current view settings-
>other settings >check the box “Allow in-cell editing

update: ok, yes it does but not in READING PANE view; you have to actually open up the message – then, in order to be able to identify it later, i gave it my PERSONAL category color.

When I schedule appointments on the calendar and use Arabic language in the Subject line; it looks bleary to read. I would like to be able to change the subject line font and hopefully in large the Arabic font size.
Thank you
