Edit subject of received message

In Entourage 2004 I used to be able to edit the subject of a received message to make it more appropriate for my filed records. Now in Entourage 2008 I don't seem to be able to do this using the 'Edit Message' function. 
 
Can someone show me how to do it or has this functionality been disabled?
