How to change subject line content on received email
Is there any way to change the subject line content of an email that I receive. I know I can do it when I forward the email or reply to it at that time.
The reason why I need to do this is because my day's work is following up on received emails that are generated by an automated system. I get about 90 emails a day. When I get the email I have to read the email itself to know exactly what the email is in reference to as the subject line is so long it can not fit in the browser and really does not give me any item of the specifics of the email. There are about 9 different generic type emails I get.
Depending on the content of the email I then have to forward the email to the respective employee to follow up on; basically I am the coordinator. At the time I forward the email I can change the content. But sometimes I need to investigate the issue separately for a while and then determine if I have to forward for further follow up.
If I have all these emails in my working inbox with basically the same subject content it is very hard to look for a specific email that i need without having to scroll through all the emails reading the email content. This gets very time consuming. So until i get to forward it I have so many emails with basically the same subject content in my inbox. Once I forward change the subject content and then receive a reply from the employee it does make it easier but until then it drives me nuts.
Also, when i go to archive the original email i end up with an archive folder with all emails basically all having the same subject line content.
I guess I could upon receiving the email originally, click forward, change the content line to specific email content and then send it to myself but again this does not change the original email that is later sent to archive.
