Copy the message to the Drafts directory. If you double-click it there, you can edit just about anything. The problem is that when you copy it to wherever you want to save it, the From field is changed to your address. I get around this by putting the original sender somewhere else in the message.

Changing the subject in a received message in Apple Mail
In Apple Mail I received a message I wanted to keep but the subject was not specific enough for me.
So I googled how to change the subject of a received email in Apple Mail and found this:
While technically it's possible, it's not trivial. You would have to write an applescript to
search/replace the contents of your subject field and then use apple mail filters and run
applescript based on your rule.
This is commonly done in the unix world via procmail, for example when spamassassin detects
spam, procmail appends SPAM to the email subject message.
it might be better to set up rules based on subject to filter your mail into separate boxes for
organization.
I am not conversant with Applescript so I continued reading and found this:
There is a (somewhat convoluted) way to do it:
To edit a message in a Mac OS X Mail folder:
? Drag and drop the desired message out of Mac OS X Mail onto the Desktop
? Ctrl-click on the message copy on the Desktop. Select Open With > TextEdit from the menu
? Make the desired changes to the message source. To change a message's subject, look for "Subject:" at the beginning of a line starting from the top
? Close TextEdit saving the document
? Ctrl-click on the message on the Desktop again. Select Open With > Mail from the menu
? Now select Message > Copy To followed by the message's original folder from the menu in Mac OS X Mail
? Close the message window
? Delete the message copy from your Desktop, and optionally, delete the original message in Mac OS X Mail
It is convoluted but it works. One caveat - after changing the subject don’t Copy to the original folder - copy to a different folder. Then delete the original and move the copy to the folder you want it in.
I wish there was an app to do this task.

Re: Couple of gripes/questions
On your first question, I did some digging and it looks like you can't turn the scroll to top feature off, but you may be able to make some adjustments in Accessibility settings that could help. Check out the tips close to the bottom of this post.?

Re: Couple of gripes/questions
On the Return key issue, I feel your frustration as I've done that quite often. Are you by chance using an external keyboard for your iPad? From what I understand iPhones and iPads should allow the use of the Return key for line breaks due to the fact that there is an arrow you need to press to actually send the message. However, if you are using an external keyboard with them the behavior of the Return key changes and will actually send the message.
I just tested this theory by using a spare bluetooth keyboard with my iPhone.
No keyboard Return = line break
With keyboard Return = message sent
The behavior of the Return key holds true when you are on your Mac since you are on an external keyboard. With a Mac you could change the behavior of the Return for Messages with a third-party app, but I don't know that there's anything you can do for the iPad or iPhone if you use an external keyboard with them other than utilizing Shift/Return.?

Value Trap. Hi everyone. The appraisal of PayPal’s stock is one of the big debates among value investors. Are the shares an attractive opportunity after tumbling more than 80% over the past three years? At first blush, it looks promising on the numbers. Unlike other software companies within the high-flyer pandemic cohort, PayPal generates billions in annual profits. PayPal stock isn’t expensive either, trading at roughly ten times forward price-to-earnings, compared to its five-year average of 31 times. But the key question for investors is always about the future. PayPal’s annual revenue growth rate has slowed from 15% to 20% in recent years to just single digits. Will PayPal reaccelerate
or falter? I’m pessimistic for one reason: the rise of Apple Pay. And I’m not the only one. On Tuesday, Mizuho analyst Dan Dolev PayPal stock to Neutral from Buy. “Our data suggests that market share loss to Apple Pay looks increasingly challenging,” he wrote. The iPhone “is driving a secular change in consumer checkout habits” toward Apple Pay. Dolev analyzed PayPal’s checkout button, which accounts for 80% of the company’s transaction profits. Since mid-2021, he found “steep declines” in monthly web traffic
share redirected to PayPal’s web domain—a proxy for transactions—at 24 of PayPal’s largest e-commerce checkout partners. It hasn’t improved in recent months. PayPal didn’t respond to a request for comment on Mizuho’s analysis. I’ve experienced the behavioral change myself. For years, PayPal was my primary digital wallet for non-Amazon purchases. But I haven’t used it over the past year and have completely shifted to Apple Pay. Once an iPhone user starts using the service after entering their credit card information, there’s little reason to try anything else. The double tap of the iPhone power button and the authentication with Face ID is too convenient, reducing the
friction to complete orders on apps and the web, and inside physical stores. PayPal, without its own consumer hardware, just can’t offer a similarly seamless experience. To be sure, Apple’s dominance in payments could become of interest to the government. But even if regulators force Apple to open its payment chip technology, allowing other providers to use the iPhone’s proximity-based mobile payment system, I don’t see much changing. Most consumers won’t go through the trouble of changing their settings when Apple Pay works just fine. It’s a big turnaround for Apple Pay. The service was released in 2014 to much fanfare but initially didn’t take off. Ultimately, though, Apple’s installed base of over 2 billion active devices was
too compelling for businesses to ignore. Over time, Apple Pay earned acceptance at more retail locations and online stores, putting Apple on the cusp of achieving one of its many goals: disrupting the payments industry. Write to me at?tae.kim@...?or follow me on X at?.
