RequireTLS: NO only overrides policy mechanisms (DANE, MTA-STS) that may
be present. It does not cause delivery of the message to be insecure.
TLS may be negotiated with RequireTLS: NO, it just isn't required. It
just causes TLS to be negotiated very much like it is today (in the
absence of DANE and MTA-STS).

Header field munging is an ugly business, and (as an individual) I am
opposed to it, especially since this doesn't seem to be a very
compelling usage. As document editor, I haven't heard WG consensus to
include that in the REQUIRETLS draft, so I won't be adding that. Of
course, some operators might munge the Subject header field anyway, as
they do for other things.
