Yep.  You use a subject rule if appearing in the subject means something 
different (or something more) than appearing in the body.  Thus, "Viagra" 
showing in the subject or the body probably means a spam advertizing Viagra, 
but a subject ending in "HjasdUIBzfd12" is a unique subject ID, so it gets a 
subject test.

You could make two different tests, subject and body, if you want a 
word/phrase appearing in a subject to have more impact than if it just 
appeared in the body.
