Because it comes installed with every Windows computer.  Quite a few
(most?) people will simply use it rather than spending the time and
energy to find and install an alternative (if they are even aware that
there ARE alternatives).

Agreed.  I use Thunderbird at home.

In Outlook Express, you can have a rule for the Subject line.

a rule based on the header text is doable in outlook, but not outlook
express.

"header tests were not available in Outlook
Express "

That's what I am seeing also that seems like a big deal - cpanel is used
in lots of web hosting and spam assassin is needed these days.   Not
everyone uses outlook and OE is a free app that comes with windows (yeah, I
guess you get what you pay for : )...

But this WAS usable with OE before.  Taking away a critical feature for the
sake of new and improved is hard to push on clients, right?

This works on Outlook, but header tests were not available in Outlook
Express the last time I checked.

I have never used Micro$$oft outlook / express before. But it must be
pretty simple to configure a filter on headers. ( look for message
filters probably ) 

For eg in my evolution client  I can set 
if X-Spam-Bar contains "+" file into spam folder.
So any mail scoring 5+ goes into spam 

Consider using thunderbird alternatively :-)

You *can* get SA to rewrite the subject, but what cpanel 11
does in conjunction with SA is beyond the scope of this list.

No idea about what to do in Outlook, but for SA-specific documentation
on rewriting the Subject: header, see:
