Is there a way to edit the Subject of an email? At times the topic of conversation changes throughout an ongoing thread of emails, and I'd like to manage that by editing the Subject before filing it into a folder.

The problem with the add-on solution is it stops working every time there is a new Thunderbird release. Editing the subject line is a fundamental feature than should be built-in. How can you possibly file incoming messages if you can't give them a meaningful subject.

It is your data. It effects no one else.

This add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/header-tools-lite/

is an ".xpi" file. My Macintosh says I need to visit the AppStore to find an application to open it. What gives with this?
