Re: Subject header not detected after folded header

[Ben Wylie]

Am running SpamAssassin 3.1.2 on Windows 2003 server.
This is an extract from the headers of an incoming email.
This triggered the "MISSING_SUBJECT Missing Subject: header" rule.
Why did this not detect the subject header?

exists:Header is equivalent to Header =~ /./, i.e. the header contains at 
least one character. Here is the code from Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf:

      elsif ($value =~ /^(\S+)\s+exists:(.*)$/) {
        $self->{parser}->add_test ($1, "$2 =~ /./", $TYPE_HEAD_TESTS);
        $self->{descriptions}->{$1} = "Found a $2 header";
      }

So I was wrong. The rule checks that there is some content in the 
header, rather than for the header itself.

I had misunderstood this.

Thanks
