Vista Tutorial - Can not change the subject line like outlook

Hello,
I like to change the subject line so that I can identify the
email but am not able to do that.

IS there a way to do this please?

secondly, if I have attachments to the email and I like to remove few of
them I can not do that. Even though in the draw down menu it shows remove but
nothing happens when I click on it.

thanks

To change text in the subject field :
Click on the e-mail > click Forward > make changes in the subject field >
mail it back to yourself.
To remove a few attachments from an e-mail :
( same as above ) Forward > right click on those you don't want, click
Remove > mail it back to yourself.

Or just click Forward, make the changes and save it in Drafts. Then drag to
a folder of your choice. No need to mail it.

Actually this is what I do but it is long process,
I wanted to know if MSFT have some easy way of doing it.

You would think they would have it since out look has these functionalities.

Thank you for your help anyway

Outlook has more features, and you pay for them.
Windows Mail is like the toy in a box of Cracker Jack.

WLM does not permit changing the subject...the only method was previously suggested in this thread(Forward or Forward/Save to
Draft).

Attachments must be detached(drag and drop or saved)..they can not be removed from the original email.

Unfortunately, Windows Live Mail doesn't provide any means to edit or
remove an attachment from a sent or received message. There is a
workaround.:
- Do a File, Save As to save the message to an *.EML file, or
drag-and-drop the message to a Windows folder
- Then edit the file in Notepad or other text editor. You can change
any headers, message body, etc. You can also remove an attachment. For
some information on the formatting of attachments, see
http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/decode.htm
- Save the file
- You can drag-and-drop the message back to an WLM folder. Or you can
double click the saved file from the Windows File Explorer. It will
open in a mail window. You can then select File, Copy to folder.
- You can then delete the original message.

Once you get the hang of it, it's not very difficult. And unlike a
forward, the sender and message date/time don't get altered unless you
want to.
