Summary: Build 208 - MAPI COM property doesn't work

Initial Comment:
I'm trying to change the subject of an email with the
MAPI com interface to Outlook:

from win32com.client import Dispatch

s = Dispatch("Mapi.Session")
s.Logon("Outlook")
for folder in s.Inbox.Folders:
    if folder.Name == 'Test':
        for msg in folder.Messages:
            print "Changing subject of %s" % msg.Subject
            msg.Subject = 'Blabla'
            print "New subject = %s" % msg.Subject
            msg.Update()

But the code does not work. The subject is not changed.
It seems like msg.Subject = 'Blabla' has no effect.

The same code logic works with Matlab or Visual Basic.

I'm afraid I don't have the time right now to look into
this, but Python and MAPI have been working together well,
by many different people for many years.  Nothing jumps out
at me from the code though...
