So Thunderbird displays the last Subject line header it comes across. Is that incorrect behaviour for an MUA? Is it valid for an email to have more than one Subject line?

Try saving it to disk and uploading it using the file upload method to spamalyser.com. It might show characters that you can't see. > Here's the original header from the SA attachment: <snip to subject> > Subject: So that's just a blank subject line? Using SpamAssassin 3.3 here, if I run this command: echo -ne "Subject:\nX-Foo: bar\n\nviagra CIALIS\n"|spamassassin I end up with a single Subject line of: Subject: *****SPAM***** And no additional empty subject line.
