Why would you want to edit message headers?
With Outlook98 I could edit a received message and then save it. Pretty
handy for messages from a recipe list... just get rid of the unwanted
stuff and change the subject. A bit easier than copying the wanted bits
to paste into a new e-mail *and* the From and Date fields were unchanged.
So, for a message that once said "Soups&Salads - Jerusalem Artichoke
Soup - January 17, 2006", I changed the Subject to "Spinach Madeleine"
as that was the only recipe I saved.
When I imported my mail into T'bird, all that went away. Annoying, to
say the least.
Yeah, I'm too chicken/lazy to edit the mail files with Notepad or whatever.
And yes, I know I can drag a message into the Drafts folder or just
"Edit message as new" but that changes the date and time and From.
I found an extension called "TB Header Tools". You can modify the
header detail of messages, edit the subject line, the recipient's name
and even the date.

Pretty darn cool!
