I missed/bypassed that, sorry. Maybe because the change of the subject.

I see. So did you finally reached to the conclusion that your MUA was the

There are some ISPs that make a good job (when talking about
effectiveness) with their spam filters (e.g., Gmail) but the problem is
about configuration. The level of customization it allows a local anti-
spam filter is very high and such flexibility can't be obtained with my
Gmail account.
So finally, what are you going to do or what are now your plans regarding
your original issue? :-?

I've never heard about that. I mean, I'm not aware of any rule or
recommendation for writing at the "subject" line, I've always thought
it's "free-style" or based on the user's preferences. I think what
mandates here are the header fields.
What I can tell is that editing the subject line can make some MUAs
(mostly webmails) break the threading style by removing the required
references and/or reply-to headers.
