An extension that allows one to change the subject and/or date of messages.

Any changes to header info will change the text to red ( like in the X-Categories value in the pic )
... This is so the user knows which values he has modified..
... If the user puts the value back to what it was before, the text color will revert to black
Headers you want *removed* from the message will appear disabled ( like X-Priority in the pic )..
...To remove a header, the user would simply click on the header's name ( click again to keep )
.. you can ONLY remove headers that contain "X-" ( because messages should ALWAYS have To, Date, Subject etc. )
Header ordering is done through a user pref... like
user_pref("hdrtools.headers.order", "Date,To,From,Subject,X-Categories");
...if a header does not exist on the list in the pref, that header will get inserted after the ones that are in the list
Headers that you do NOT want to see at all can be inserted into this pref
user_pref("hdrtools.headers.ignore", "Return-Path,Reply-To,X-Spam,MIME,X-Virus,X-Mime,X-MSMail");
Note that the ignore algorithm matches headers that contain the first couple letters of the items in the user pref
so .. using the ignore userpref above, if these two headers exist in your message
X-Spam-Status
X-Spam-Level
...BOTH will be ignored
The extension ignores the following headers for safety reasons:
Received, Message-ID, X-Account, X-UIDL, X-Mozilla, Delivered
New default headers ( that would appear in the dropdown boxes ( like X-Keywords and X-Custom ) are handled by
user_pref("hdrtools.headers.newdefault", "X-Categories,X-Keywords,X-Free");
.. if the header already exists in the message, the dropdown will NOT contain that header name.. (prevents duplicates )

I was able hack TB_Header_Tools_0.7-Rod_Whiteley-tb3.xpi to fix the GetDBView() error seen when attempting to use it with Thunderbird 3.0:
I have attached a .xpi file with my modifications. I bumped the rev number to 0.7.1. I successfully used this new 0.7.1 rev on an x86_64 linux box, with this rev of Thunderbird:
Other potentially useful notes/warnings:
- The "Change Header Details" action is available in the "Messages" pulldown menu from the main TB toolbar.
- The source code comments warn that two built in functions (onMsgLoaded and createNewHeaderView) are replaced, which could of course cause buggy behavior in newer versions of Thunderbird, if the built-ins have changed. Re-read Rod's warning above about using this extension.
