How I edit an M/S Outlook 2002 email message (including the header) ?

Hi all,

I am not sure whether this is possible or not.

How can I edit an M/S Outlook 2002 email message (including the header with date/time, subject, etc)) for a sent email ?

I am only asking because I am looking to perform a harmless prank on a friend.

Thanks

Subject is quite easy, as for the date time, just change it on your PC before you start Outlook and this date and time will be used for the Date header. What else? The From header you set in you account settings.

Works apart from date/time. It just stays the same as per the original email and does not alter.

Did you really look in the headers or is Outlook setup with a "Received" column, which doesn't show the Date header but rather the date and time when Outlook received it?

I just tested it with Thunderbird and it worked. Where else would Outlook take the time from if not from the PC sending the email?
