Want the Subject field (for bold iMessages) in macOS’ Messages app?
- Quit Messages
- Open Terminal
- Run
defaults write com.apple.MobileSMS MMSShowSubject 1
- Start Messages
This worked for me on a fresh install of macOS 14.1.1 (23B81) (new Mac mini).

Hmm, really? It worked for me. Though tbh I put it at the very bottom before the , but that shouldn't make a difference.
Very weird @2xsaiko, could you post / DM me your plist so I can copy that in and see if that works?
I mean that's really it, I just added it to the top level dict as I said. To the end that is, after I ran Messages again it rewrote the file and placed it somewhere in the middle, that's why it's no longer at the end in the paste.
It's probably safer to tell people to edit it with Xcode instead, there's no risk of messing up the file that way...
Thanks @2xsaiko, I tried this and it killed Messages. Had to revert the preference .plist to get it to work again.
