I've never actually seen a spam that has '[spam]' in the subject.

I save the RFC822 headers of mail I receive, and  of the 4,652 headers
I have going back to Feb 1, there are 13 that match 'grep -i spam'.  Of
those, 8 are from a thread "Subject: kyxspam: isc loses mind" and 5 are
from a thread "Subject: More member-only anti-spam".

On the other hand, I average 20-30 pieces of spam a day that do NOT
contain 'spam' in the Subject: header.  A better heuristic is called for.
