I don't know how Mail keeps its messages, however, if it uses the Unix mailbox format, as Eudora mostly does, then, with Mail closed, you can try editing the mailbox as a text file. I do this often in Eudora and Pine to fix scrambled messages (attachments that come inline and have to be cut, pasted and translated externally). Also sometimes someone's clock is off by a few years and their message sorts incorrectly, so I rewrite the Date header. For Eudora you also have to consider its index files, which also stores info from the headers, (read/unread status, etc) I just delete the index file and Eudora recreates one using the info from my new headers. I transfer the messages I intend to rework to a separate mailbox to limit loss of info. (Or copy them if you're experimenting.) -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
