John:
I don't think so, and it sounds like that ability in Eudora was most
likely a bug -- seems odd that you could change the original of
someone's correspondence to you in that way.
But a workaround might be to use the "Redirect" option in the
Message menu (and you can edit the default MacMail toolbar to add it
to the toolbar for easy access), in combination with an email Rule to
automatically file the message. Redirect avoids any indenting of the
message body or addition of the typical "message below was sent on
xxxxxx" phrase to the message.
First, set up a Rule (Mail -> Preferences -> Rules) in the
accountant's email account to automatically move all incoming
messages having a specific phrase in the subject (i.e.: Archive) and
coming FROM your accountant's email address, to a new mailbox set up
for the archived messages.
Then, for any message that the accountant needs to archive, s/he should:
1. Choose "Redirect" for the selected message
2. Enter his/her email address to have it re-sent to him/her
3. Change the subject to what he/she wants it to be, including the
key phrase established in the Rule above
4. Send the email.
The message will be sent, and when it comes in, it will automatically
be filed in the appropriate mailbox.
Best,
Susan

Sorry for the off topic post, but I cannot find any of this
information anywhere.
One of our accountants has been using Eudora for email and she has
been archiving orders by changing the subject directly in her inbox.
Eudora allows you to do this by just opening any email from the inbox
- it displays the subject as an input field that can be edited. When
you close the email, the subject field saves and that is how it is
now displayed in the inbox. Unfortunately, Eudora has been
problematic in displaying html emails and it seems to be getting
worse as time goes on. Hence we decided to use Mac Mail for OS X. It
seems to be working well, but she can no longer edit the subject
field in her inbox. It seems that you are stuck with whatever subject
form the origiginal. Is there a way change the subject without having
to forward/reply the email?
Thanks!
John
