Just what I needed after the update to Thunderbird version 78.4. Thank you for updating it.
Unfortunately It appears that either I do not understand how the Hotkey "E" is supposed to work or it does not work. If I type "E" with a message highlighted nothing happens.
When I right click on a mail the menu appears, typing "E" with the menu open requires typing "E" twice since "E" is already assigned to "Edit as a new message".
Also I do not see the Options menu for this add-on in the Add-on Options sub menu.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.3).

Thanks Christophe for the "Caution, if you uncheck the "local changes only" option, the message disappears completely , in thunderbird, and on the mail server!!! (I’m in pop version)"

That seems to work for the few I have tried to change so far. I don't remember having this problem in the previous EES version and hope John can review the situation and correct it if possible. Thanks again for your "Caution", upgrading rating as a result. And thank you John for EES.

Attention, si l'on décoche l'option "changements locaux uniquement", le message disparaît purement et simplement , et dans thunderbird, et sur le serveur de courrier !!! (je suis en version pop)

I do have some problem with the permissions.

"Have full unrestricted access to Thunderbird, and your computer".

Unrestricted access to my computer sounds more like a virus. Is it?

You will get that a lot with TB78, as that is now the standard info when installing a privileged add-on. I could erase your harddrive, if I want, because I have full system access.

However, this add-on has been reviewed, as it is hosted on ATN. So this add-on will NOT erase your harddrive, as that would have been rejected by ATN review

The add-on has the same "power" as it had in TB68 or older, but the info message is only printed now.

But why do you flag the add-on? It asks for a permission and you are free to reject. Just do not use it then.

You can change the Subject in the mail list display by right-clicking and selecting Edit Email Subject.
However, the Subject displayed in the message pane did not reflect the change.
Also, HotKey "E" does not work.

doesn't work on TB 78.3.1. Can't see any changes even after restarting TB. I tried unchecking the option (cause I want to see the change in TB), checking the option again, same thing. When I type the change, click OK, nothing changes and when I go back and try to change again, the initial changes have disappeared. One Time I made a change and my email disappeared from my inbox!!!

Seems to work, but why just change the TB database? I used HeaderTools Lite until TB78 broke it. It changed the actual content of the message, which I preferred.

Check the options. You can have it either way.

Absolutely essential add-on. However, one minor suggestion:
When triggering the dialog, it would be helpful to have the entire subject line already selected so one may simply begin typing to replace it (rather than first pressing Ctrl-A/Cmd-A to select all the text). Admittedly, a minor quibble.

So glad to see this updated! I've missed it for a long time.
It easily doubles the value of TBird - I can't thank you enough. Made a contribution...

Want to thank John Bieling, the developer for updating this app - I can 't express what a handy function it is. John, after I get paid - I'll send another donation. Thanks again!

It is not just me, but a small group of devs. See the Support-Link. Donations will go to mozilla.

Sadly, the suggestion for Header Tools Lite may work for older TB, but not for the current version. I've contributed in the hopes of an update of this great add-on, and I hope that others will do so.

The original add-on is now compatible with TB68 as well.

Indeed this was an extremely useful add-on.
I thought Mr Christopher Leidigh offered to udpdate the add-on.
How come the developer did not accept as perhpas Jisse44 does not have the time to do this?
