A spammer or person with malicious intent most probably would use, if any, an off topic subject.
And, absent wierd server stuff, most postings do have a relevant subject I am hyper cautious as I have sustained attacks in the past, and my protection is to also drop messages with no subject. Just my protocol I use. I also do not open attachments that are neither jpg nor off, the exception is an expected file from a reasonably safe source. I avoid xls and doc and docx like the plague.
