You can't change the dead entry, but it should work to rename the live
one.
BTW, you have one of the most annoying quoting styles I have ever seen:
it's impossible to tell your words from those of the message you are
replying to, and not trimming the overhead from that message wastes
still more of your readers' time. Please change your habits, or you
are likely to find that people stop reading your mail.
