Feature request - Edit RECEIVED and SENT messages

Feature request
1

I find that I am missing the possibility of editing RECEIVED and SENT messages.
I often use this feature in other email clients to add and highlight important information to received messages that I keep.

Does this mean you are then not creating a draft email when you are editing inbox or sent emails ?

I donā€™t really understand what you are asking.
What I mean is this: I receive an email, I read it and I want to keep it (in my Inbox or another folder that I created), but I want to change itā€™s Subject line or I want to highlight some of its text.
In other email clients, when I open a received email message, an option to edit this message is available.

Click on the subject, change it, and hit Enter when done.

@Gary how can you do that ā€œwithout using the Forward or Forward as originalā€ option ?

As from what i can tell @MLor wants to edit Inbox and Sent messages without creating a draft.

You can edit the subject of all received and sent messages at a later time. Just click on the subject, change it, and hit the Enter key when done.

@Gary oh i see what i was doing wrong. I had the Preview Pane enabled below the messages and was clicking on the subject at the top and (not on the Subject at the top of the body of the email).

THANK YOU!! :clap: :star_struck:
Being able to edit the Subject line will help a lot!
Now, if only I could do that to the body of the messageā€¦

Has there been any recent updates on how to edit the body of a previously ā€˜receivedā€™ or ā€˜sentā€™ email, as asked in the original post above. I have just changed from Outlook, where you could select ā€˜Edit Messageā€™ from the Menu bar and then edit the email body of emails you received or sent. This does come in handy for many reasons, like if you forward a email received but want to change/correct some of the previous text and details. Also as MLor says to highlight or bold certain parts for reference.

Not that Iā€™m aware of - and I would not hold my breath, they donā€™t seem to be very fast with adding features.

Okay, thanks for your reply.
I guess the workaround that Gary left in a few posts in this thread will do until a dedicated Edit feature is added.

thanks for the ā€œenterā€ tip. Often when I see a typo in the subject line, I like to fix it.
