App to edit subject lines of received emails

[Crusoe]

Is there a third party iPhone app that enables you to edit the subject line of a received email?

More specifically: I don't meant the subject line of a sent email. I would like to change the subject line of received email so that I can make them more meaningful (e.g. for order confirmations, to take out anything extraneous so that the order number is visible on a small screen).

You can't do it in the built-in app. You can do it on with the Mac mail app, although it involves a few steps. But is there any way to do it on an iPhone?

Not sure about what you're looking for, but why not just organise the emails in folders/subfolders? At least this way it'll also update on the Mac Mail app.

What I'm looking to do is make the subjects meaningful at a glance - if I've received a mail entitled something like "Your order confirmation" or "FW:" or "RE:" it's not very clear; I want to edit those to include information that I can see at a glance. I don't receive enough emails to need a more complicated filing structure.

Out of curiosity, how can it be done on a Mac?

The only way I can really think of is perhaps to forward the email to yourself with the edited subject line to whatever you want it to be.

On a Mac you click the zigzag arrow button (I think it's 'redirect'). You can then edit the subject, save as a draft, and drag from the draft folder back into the inbox. You can then delete the original.

Forwarding to myself, or sending to a second email account and then replying, are possibilities but then of course you lose the sender.
