I suspect that this is probably due to the fact you are trying to edit the message in an IMAP account folder (or maybe Hotmail)?
In this case, you only edit the mail in the local cache - the mail on the server does not get changed - this is the way it is designed to work. If this is the case, then perhaps when you export it is the server version that is being exported, which would account for the loss of editing changes. I suppose the way to avoid this would be to copy the messages to a local folder first ( a folder under the 'on my computer'), then edit the subjects then export. -- Barry Wainwright Microsoft MVP (see http://mvp.support.microsoft.com for details) Seen the All-New Entourage Help Pages? - Check them out: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> > From: LazK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[email protected]> > Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2005 08:50:34 +1000 > To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Importing emails with changed subject line > > 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. > > Kind regards, > > Larry > > > On 21/8/05 13:00, "Entourage:mac Talk" <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> From: Barry Wainwright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2005 22:30:25 +0100 >> Subject: Re: Importing emails with changed subject line >> >> Something's jogging my memory about edited messages not exporting - another >> symptom is that you can't get the source of the message by applescript.
