Gee, doesn’t sound like changing a subject on existing message is such a great idea. I’d rather send a new message with the updated info. Possible problems related making a change outweigh the usefulness IMO.

One usage case. When a message arrives flagged as [SPAM] in the Subject:, but it isn't spam, my filters try to get rid of it and I have to jump through hoops to keep the message. Removing the "[SPAM]" from the subject will be much easier now I know that facility is there.

        You mention side effects of the automation procedure :what are they?

     From the dialog box:

    Be aware of the following caveats:

    • An updated copy replaces the original on the IMAP server.
    • It is slow and inefficient for large emails.
    • Other email clients detect the updated copy as a new email.
    • The original subject is saved in an “Original-Subject” header.

    Also, I found a way to arrange things so that choosing
    Command->MailMate->Change Subject has no apparent effect at all.

    Having granted Mailmate the necessary permission once, I went to

    System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Privacy->Automation

    and unchecked System Events.app under MailMate.app.

    Also, thanks to Benny for pointing out my earlier mistake in
    mentioning Full Disk Access. Mea culpa!

    After unchecking that, trying to change the subject of a message has
    no visible effect at all. So maybe your machine is somehow in a
    similar state. Enabling that permission again allows things to work.
