Comment 32 for bug 490935

(In reply to comment #29)

With all respect, the feature you suggest (as point 2.) might be useful to some
people, even though I don't know precicely for what. But, if implemented, I
think it should be optionally configurable; not done by default.

My primary, and *urgent*, need for this feature is to actually restore subjects
to their original value again after having become "trashed" (e.g. by prepending
"*** SPAM ***" to the real subject), e.g. by external MTA spam filters (that are
not under my control, like http://www.snert.com/Software/milter-spamc/, etc), so
that those messages *again* will be filtered into the message thread they are
supposed to. For this purpose there is no value added by storing the "original"
subject.

Performing this task, by editing the mail file for each and every mail with an
"trashed" subject, is becoming more and more frustrating for every day and thus;
I'd like this primary and, IMHO for most of us, very useful feature to be given
a high priority.
