One of the last recommendation was to use the "TB Header Tools" extension to change the subject. I DO NOT RECOMMENT THUS EXTENSION. It corrupted my mail file. Every time I try to read the email that I attempted to change the subject Thunderbird crashes. I looked at the mail file with a Hex editor and cannot tell what got corrupted. Even the extension's author has a warning about using it. The extension has NOT been updated in quite a while and seems to have problems with TB 1.5.
So I sure would like to see this become part of the product. To me any arguements about it not being appropriate to change an email message are missing the point. Once I have the mail message on my hard drive I need to be able to easily find it again. If I really wanted to I could change it with other tools.
