Fine by me. I mostly wanted to bring up the idea that there are several
possible and simple ways around the problem of "how do we know we have to
remove the subject line?"
I do consider not adding the subject header when it wasn't there to be a
moderately severe drawback for some people. Subject-less spam is becoming
more common, and this is the traditional place to put spam tagging. If
spammers can get around SA completely (for some significant amount of users)
simply by leaving the subject off, I'm sure they will do that.

Note that dash (which may have been accidental) in the first format would be
required. I receive about 10 spams a day with a subject of "(no subject)".
I would personally prefer that SA specifically stated in the text that it
had added the subject.
