What else is there?  From the mutt manual:

    [:punct:]
       Punctuation characters (characters that are not letter, digits,
       control characters, or space characters).

so it seems to me that upper-case letters, digits, spaces, and [:punct:]
would include everything that would be in a subject except perhaps a
tab.

I tested the search pattern

    [A-Z0-9 [:punct:]]+

on the above examples and it matched all of every one.
