The problem is the mail client program, specifically
Thunderbird. There must be a bug in T-bird that is tickled
by these non-text characters because although the Subject

message in the mailbox with an editor, T-bird displays
the subject line as a BLANK subject.
As you said, this appears to be a thunderbird issue. Went there to
report it?
Now, why don't I just write a rule in T-bird that trashes mail
that has a blank subject line, I hear you ask?
Err, nope. :) Note that the Subject actually is NOT empty, as you said.
And unless filtering in TB on (raw or decoded) headers is affected by
the very same bug /displaying/ the Subject header in a specific widget
is... Very unlikely. What's invisible to the eye in the UI seriously
isn't invisible to code logic.
This appears to be a client *rendering*, displaying bug. Not to be
confused with an actual empty header (which isn't the same as a missing
header either) to filter on.
Even though this most likely is a TB bug, it would be interesting to
have a look at these headers. If possible, the raw one, prior to your SA
header munging, err, rewriting option.
OK I did it - and this one is really, really cool!!!
Thunderbird is barfing when it gets TWO "Subject:" lines in the e-mail
message.
SA processes it and here's the result:

Thunderbird only displays the SECOND subject line.
Now, why the message that SA is creating is getting TWO Subject: lines is
a different question.
cat -v does not show any non-printable chars.
Here's the original header from the SA attachment:
I don't see a problem here with what got through the emails for that
header here. I submit it's a bug in your setup, Ted. Empty subjects
here end up looking quite normal here.

I have SpamAssassin provide the markup. How do you generate your markup?
