Thank you Joan & Marilyn for your replies. I was afraid of that....<smile> I had a post with a poor subject line and about 10 replies and was hoping for an easy way to fix it.

Marilyn, I've found what I consider an "easy" way to fix the subsequent Subject lines. BEFORE I submit the Edit screen, I copy the subject line (Ctrl-C). Click Submit. Go to next post in thread and into the Edit screen. Highlight the Subject but NOT the "Re: " then paste (Ctrl-V).
