            Bug ID: 7729
           Summary: body rules to match body only, not including the
                    Subject
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Rules

  Target Milestone: Undefined

The current body rule does not only match the actual body, but also includes
the Subject as pseudo-part of the body.

While this behaviour is clearly documented, people do get caught be this (meta
rule to match some phrases in the body AND subject). It is non-trivial to write
a rule matching the body only, or actually matching both the body and the
Subject.

M:SA:Conf
  "The message Subject header is considered part of the body
   and becomes the first paragraph when running the rules."

We should implement a tflags test flag for body rules to exclude the Subject
from matching.

Along with the next major branch 4.x we may consider making this the default,
with Subject prepending a tflags option.
