Updating emails via API without a template?

I just tried to update an email subject line via the API and got the following error:

{

    "requestId": "e064#161345f3192",

    "success": false,

    "errors": [

        {

            "code": "709",

            "message": "API only allows operations on emails with a template"

        }

    ]

}

I mean - it's pretty clear in the message itself - but I just wanted to double check that it wasn't possible to update anything in an email when it doesn't have a template. This would be quite annoying - we don't really use email templates in Marketo and instead create them in Dreamweaver, then copy the code in. So virtually none of our emails are attached to a template.

I'm hoping there's a solution here since there are 250ish emails I need to update...
