Why this is important: 1. You personally may not, but many users have fax->email services. For them, this feature is absolutely necessary. For a long time, I didn't realize that there was an extension that allows it and works well, the lack of which causing me a lot of pain.
2. If people set bad subjects for important emails (e.g. by just hitting reply on an unrelated subject), I can either get angry at them (because I will not find it anymore in one week), or ask them to fix it in the future, or I can fix it myself in my mail store. The latter, however, I can only do with this feature. 3. Many other people have wrong clocks on their computers, and Thunderbird sorts folders by the message send time that the sender put in. I recently received a mail which was exactly one month off. Completely confused me in the folder view. I can't fix it, without this feature. (Arguably, Thunderbird should sort better.) This is similar to "delete attachment" feature. That's also a feature that we didn't have for a long time, and some said we didn't want it, they said it's freaky and wrong. Finally, we added it - and it's indispensable, as it turned out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490935 Title: it is not possible to modify email subject Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Confirmed Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird Microsoft Outlook allows to modify "subject" of incoming emails. This is very very useful, especially when sender used a meaningless subject, or a simple dot. This feature should be very useful also in Thunderbird.
