[Spamassassin Wiki] Update of "Rules/SUBJ RE NUM" by LeeMaguire

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Spamassassin Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by LeeMaguire:
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/Rules/SUBJ_RE_NUM

New page:
#language en
== SpamAssassin Rule: SUBJ_RE_NUM ==

''Standard description:'' Subject is faking 'The Bat!' responses

=== Explanation ===

The Subject line in the mail's header looks like "{{{Subject: Re[2]: something}}}".  This is an unusual use of "Re" in the subject line, but it is apparently a signature of 'The Bat!'.

=== Further Info ===

The default scores for this rule can be found [http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests.html in the online list of tests].

Advice on the use of "Re:" is in [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822#section-3.6.5 RFC 2822 sec 3.6.5]
