How to change the tag ID ?

Tag names can be changed via message > tag > manage tags. But how can I change the tag ID ?

Let's say for example, I want to change the tag ID "unreplied" to "needsreply".

steps:

  1. in user.js: change user_pref("mailnews.tags.unreplied.tag", "unreplied"); to user_pref("mailnews.tags.needsreply.tag", "needsreply");

  2. search&replace all instances of regexp ^X-Mozilla-Keys:[^\r\n]+unreplied in all .eml files

  3. Some tags are not stored as "X-Mozilla-Keys" inside the .eml file but elsewhere ( https://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=3123346 ) – I suppose in the .msf files. They are in Mork format. Can I run a search&replace on them or will that break them?

Are these 3 steps enough or is more needed ?
