If you receive a message with a subject line that either 1.) doesn’t make sense or 2.) you want to easily find the message later, you can change the subject line. Again, this is a message you RECEIVE.

Here’s how:

Edit subject line

  1. Message is open.
  2. Click in the Subject above the message.
  3. You will see an insertion line (cursor) in the subject.
  4. Type in the subject line to edit it.
  5. Example: Type “***Keep This”
  6. Close the message.
  7. Respond YES to save the message.
  8. New subject line appears on the message
