Hi! I got so annoyed with the undescriptive subject lines it's learning alerts ( itslearning.com ) (and my university) uses, that I wrote a Python script (attached) to take care of this. -> I added a filter rule to pipe the mail to this script. It uses an smtp-client in python standard library to send mail to evolution, and regular expressions to get info from the contents and add to the subject line. I can help with tweaking the script, if you find use for it. Regards, Mats Taraldsvik On Tue, 2008-05-20 at 17:22 +0100, andy wrote:

This will cause a new message to be created (which is the only way of doing what you want), but will retain the rest of the email intact. This would also be a way of dealing with removing attachments. PeteEdit as New Message, Save Draft does create a 'new' message -- it's essentially a copy with modifications.

Those are all very much appreciated and there are a number of pretty decent workarounds contained therein. My wife has seemingly stumbled on a fix that she feels comfortable with which is a variation of something already suggested: she will merely forward these emails to herself with the subject line she wants that will be meaningful to her and delete the original. It's a bit of a pain, but I will monitor some of those emails and see if there is some way that I can (semi-)automate this process - e.g. when an email from Companies House arrives, set a rule to forward it to her email address and so it will pop-up waiting for a new subject line. Once again, thank you so much from both of us! You're a good crowd.
