Don’t know if this would solve your problem, but if you haven’t already, get 
and use Malwarebytes for Mac (free) anytime something like this shows up.  If 
it finds anything, you can use the app to clean the found problem(s) from your 
system.

It’s fake. I’ve seen it before.

It’s a JavaScript that was picked up in your travels. I don’t know of an easy 
was to stop this kind of stuff without turning off JavaScript, and that would 
disable half the sites on the Web.

[MacGroup] How to change the subject of a received email in Apple Mail

[Harry Jacobson-Beyer]

I occasionally receive emails I want to save but the subject of the received 
email doesn’t adequately reflect what’s in the email. So I found this work 
around:

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__tinyurl.com_ybazyd4a=DwIFaQ=OAG1LQNACBDguGvBeNj18Swhr9TMTjS-x4O_KuapPgY=F2GFXrjLFqVo3VwvIlo_XYeEiRRjHv15rxcenz7A21woG2aFGcrzndoSsskxfmOs=K3Mft0kiOgrOtqa8KBLeQXPy0s0-vgdSbwu4BCPsx4k=2xkZ-lKvmfYPhUYWyKQCtZpu-pbCk8LwJaWC_WIc-Xo=

Enjoy!
