Raw
macos-messages-subject-field.md

Want the Subject field (for bold iMessages) in macOS’ Messages app?

  1. Quit Messages
  2. Open Terminal
  3. Run defaults write com.apple.MobileSMS MMSShowSubject 1
  4. Start Messages

This worked for me on a fresh install of macOS 14.1.1 (23B81) (new Mac mini).

Not working for me on Sonoma Dev. Beta 2 either Messages running or not and I tried sudo also - no avail.
