SA 3.0 with no Subject Header on Win32 Platform

I recently upgraded to 3.0 and it is working better than I could have imagined.  I'm having just one minor problem.
 
The problem I am having is if a message comes in without a Subject: header and SA recognizes that it is spam, it never marks up the Subject as [SPAM].  If you add a subject: header then the markup works fine.  
 
I'm running it on Win32 with Perl 5.6.1 build 638. SA is being called by Guinevere 2.0.16, which works in conjunction with GroupWise.  Michael Bell recommended I post this issue here.
 
I'm not sure if this is just an SA on win32 problem or an SA issue itself.
 
I'm attaching some files if someone wants to run it by themselves to see what you get... 
 
Basically if you remove the Subject header completely, even though SA recognizes that it's spam, it does not mark up the subject with [SPAM] since there is no Subject.  I tried it with 2.63 and it adds a Subject: header to the message if one was not there. SA 3.0 does not seem to be doing so.  
 
Can someone else running SA on win32 confirm this and if anyone knows of a fix I would greatly appreciate it.
 
Thanks.

This is not a bug -- if you have no Subject header, SA can't rewrite it, it
doesn't exist.

http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3816 currently is tracking
the enhancement request.
