Can I manually edit the subject of an email, by using a text editor to open the relevant file? (Yes, I realise the consequences, if you are not careful/studious/do the right thing...) And obviously, while Thunderbird is closed. ie, will I break the file by opening/editing outside of Thunderbird? Thanks.
