Dear Paul Point taken about not being able to change original source subject line. Which leaves the question: how can this be done with an applescript?
This is not my strong area at all - although I believe it is yours. Can you offer an applescript that would allow me to make a permanent change to the subject line that would then be exportable? Any assistance in this endeavor would be greatly appreciated.
