To edit the text and subject, you can simply click Forward to make the
changes and then either send it, or save it to Drafts. You can also delete
the attachment from the Attach field. The time of the e-mail will not be the
original time if that matters.

Or, you can File | Save As and save it as a .txt file. It will open with
Notepad where you can edit the text and when you want to send it, open a new
message window and Insert | Text and browse to where you saved it.

Other ways to remove attachments:

Save the message to the Desktop. File | Save as | Desktop | Save. Open it
with Notepad. Highlight and delete the attachment and drag the message back
to a folder in OE.

If you get a lot, this tool does this and more. You might find it
worthwhile.

Is there a way to edit the subject line and/or message text of an incoming
email??? What about detaching attachments but keeping the message?

Often times, I'd like to change the subject because it doesn't really
describe the message or I want to edit the message text to make it shorter
or more clear, etc.
