Subject Line Editing Problem.

PJinNH · #1 04-18-2017, 07:39 AM

I know the steps involved to edit the subject line (making sure the caret is pointed up). I have in fact been able to change the subject line, but the changed subject only appears if I have the message open. If I'm looking at my list of emails, the edited subject line doesn't show (just the subject line which was sent to me originally).

I've also tried changing the View Settings to "Allow In-cell Editing," but that didn't accomplish anything.

Can anyone offer a solution?

A simple macro will change the subject of a selected message e.g

Code:

Sub ProcessSubject()
Dim olMsg As MailItem
Const strSubject As String = "ABC123 - "
    On Error Resume Next
    Set olMsg = ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)
        olMsg.Subject = strSubject & olMsg.Subject
        olMsg.Save
lbl_Exit:
    Exit Sub
End Sub
