Hi,

We're currently seeing the rule MISSING_SUBJECT sporadically hitting on emails that have a subject. This issue seems to have started during last week, which is when clients started complaining about false positive detections. Please see example headers at the following link:

https://pastebin.com/raw/GtnV67Hj

The headers are all missing the traditional space between the colon and the header content. This is formally allowable (see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#appendix-A.5,) but it may be breaking the parsing of the message. More significantly, there are what appear to be continuation parts of folded headers which have no leading whitespace, which is NOT allowable and will definitely break parsing.

Is this an artifact of how you copied the message or is it really that way? If the misformatting is being done by something before SpamAssassin sees it, SA will parse the headers incorrectly.
