Old string = [SPAM]
New string = \[SPAM\]

With the old string the filter ignored the []s so ANY message with SPAM
in the subject (no matter with or without the []s) was placed in the
junk folder.

With the new string the the filter does nothing. Any message with SPAM
or [SPAM] ends up in the inbox like any other unfiltered message.

Thx
