I often need to change the Subject line in received and/or previously sent emails. I do this by editing them in the Drafts Folder and then moving them to storage in another folder. When I edit the original message the original message date is replaced with the current date in the email header. This means the message is now "Out of Place" when I search on Date. Screenshot attached.
