FWIW, the subject line is hard coded into the virus. That said of course,
the virus code is easily extractable and thus can be simply altered to
bypass such filters.
The point about any "fix" of this nature is that people like to do something
quickly and worry about a "pure" solution later on. Rumour has it that
Microsoft's quick fix was to shut down their Internet mail servers...
