I got the following spam.  I've included the header:

My question is this.  The encoding of the Subject: and From: lines
is redundant.  There are no non-USASCII characters in either field.
Hence, specifying =?iso-8859-1?Q? is not necessary.

The test SUBJECT_EXCESS_QP seems to handle this (at least the Subject:
part).  I'd like to crank it up to 3.5 or higher.

Any intuitive reasons why this wouldn't work?  Are there any
valid mailers that are braindead?

Thanks,

-Philip
