Hi guys Thx for your replies.
Allen, all your assumptions about what i did are correct and I did follow the procedure you indicated. However as Barry notes, this may be a bug because the edited subject lines always revert back to the original in doing the export in this way. Should this be the result of a bug, it would be nice if some microsoft people monitoring the list would kindly FIX THIS UP AS IT IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING AND MAKES EDITING MESSAGES A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. If someone knows of a solution, I would be very grateful to know before I start reediting about 80 subject lines by hand.
