Outlook Subject Line Editing

Michael Sippey highlights a nugget from the 43 Folders discussion list:

You can add your own reference - date, project number, whatever - or change the subject line completely. Whatever is going to be meaningful to you. Use as many words you like. When you’re done, Ctrl+S to save.
