           Summary: header parsing problem with colons (":")
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.0.3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: Rules
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


In trying to write a local rule that catches spam with a colon (":") character
in it, I noticed a problem.  A message with a subject like "Wanted: Customer
Service Agents" will cause SpamAssassin to flag a message as having no subject
line (and score 1.6 points accordingly) since the ":" seems to reset the parsing
of the line.  The message appears to SpamAssassin as having no subject line, but
now includes a "Warning:" line instead.  This causes all subjects with colons in
them to be munged  when processed, so a subject like this "Welcome Home: I Love
You" will only register as having the subject of "Welcome" and another header
entry called "Home:" with the value "I Love You".  Not sure how to fix this if
the entire header parsing is done by the colon characters.  Thanks for all the
great work.
