You either have to open the window, type the changes, press Command-S
to save the message before going to the next message, or write an
Applescript to change the subjects. The problem with the applescript
is that you can't make individual changes unless the script uses a
dialog, which means that you still have to type. But at least then all
you do is type in the dialog and press the OK button. The script will
take care of the rest.
Here's a sample script for the in box; it wouldn't be hard to modify it
for any other mail box or to go through all mail boxes.
tell application "Claris Emailer"
set the selected_folder to the in box folder
set the folders_Messages to the messages of the selected_folder
repeat with this_Message in the folders_Messages
set the Message_subject to the subject of this_Message
tell me to display dialog "Type the new subject"�
default answer the Message_subject
set the Message_subject to the text returned of the result
set the subject of this_Message to the Message_subject
end repeat
end tell
