Duplicate Subject Headers

["Gustafson, Tim" <tj...@meitech.com>]

Hello

I'm getting a lot of messages that are actually marked as SPAM, but "appear" to not have the subject header rewritten.  Further investigation reveals that these messages have two subject headers, for example:

Reply-To: "Pauline Chang" <vw...@yahoo.com>
From: "Pauline Chang" <vw...@yahoo.com>
Subject: *****SPAM***** 
Subject: 
Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2004 11:32:53 -0200

This is causing people's Outlook rules to not recognize the message as SPAM, so the empty-subject message is sitting in their inbox instead of being automatically forwarded to their deleted items folders.  I have told a lot of people to just use the "X-Spam-Flag: YES" header in the mean time, but it seems that this should maybe be fixed, no?

Thanks in advance!

Someone reported this a few days ago by opening a bug and pasting part of a
message into the bug, rather than *attaching* a complete mail message.  The
dev's were unable to duplicate the problem from the message snippit.

If you can grab a complete message showing this problem and *attach* it to a
bug report, I'm sure people would be happy.
