Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1) Installed from: Mandrake RPMs Sometimes a message's subject line is blank, terse, or otherwise useless. It would be nice to be able to easily edit the subject line (and possibly other fields) by right clicking on the message. This is a duplicate of Bug 26158, but Bug 26158 has been closed because it is a duplicate and the original bug doesn't seem to exist anymore, so I am reopening it because I also think this is an important feature.
I think this is a very important feature to have. However I think the original subject line should be preserved (somehow) and an additional tag should be created to accomodate the new subject (or the other way arround).

This should be usefull to arrange ones emails. We can really save as attachment with the proper subject and them move it somewhere, but change directly would be much easier. The amount of emails with poor subject titles is something of another world.
This seems to be a good idea. The main use of it, I think, is to help organize your emails. To keep both subjects, the new and the original, seems complicated but if possible we could had a sort option by the original subject or by the changed ones. Sometimes people ask you questions about a certain email, refering to it by their subject. If we lose that information we can have some pratical problems.
I suppose it is only a matter of adding a tag to the mail header containing the old subject. Right now we have something like: Subject: Good day! We could add a tag, and change the subject: X-Old-Subject: Good day! Subject: Meeting request by user abc To get this working quickly the existing code would not be changed (we can check the original subject by looking at the mail headers). In the future some sort of gui could be made to show the old subject to the user.
Created attachment 9569 [details] Shell script to be used in a filter to change the messages's subject Just noticed that it is possible to rewrite the subject using a filter. This gave me the idea to change the "Subject line" using a small shell script. I did it and it works very well. My only concern is that the user input is not checked so it might cause some weird behavior, it would be good if someone that is acquainted with the relevant RFCs gave some pointers... Using this procedure is possible to change every aspect of the message, kmail really rocks!!!

Well, needs some finding into the code - but why not making this a junior job?
