I used to use an add-on for this, but it went by the wayside after an update. 😞
Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.
I've found an Add-on that does this (amongst several other things). Try "Header Tools Improved", it works with Thunderbird 115.
n2trainz, you are a rock star! THANK YOU!
Interestingly, I just now noticed that I do have EditEmailSubject MX, which has worked like a charm, and still does! How did I miss it?!!!
