God no, please.  It was hard enough getting our customers to put the
single filter rule for ******SPAM****** in their e-mail clients.  Having
to go back and add umpteen million more defeats the purpose of the
subject tag.  I don't think OE and the other GUI clients are case
sensitive by default, so switching to ******spam****** should be safe.
Anything further is going to affect thousands of non-technical users who
just want the crap out of their mailbox and thought they were all done
with the hard part.  Although, if SpamAssassin as an entity had to make
the change to avoid legal issues, I'd probably just add a global
procmail rule to rewrite it back within my organization and save our
support crew a ton of headaches.

My 2 cents,
