Do a simple test to see for yourself, I have a rule to check for FREE in caps. It's a body rule, create a simple test message with FREE in the subject and not in the body, now run that message through and see it hit ;) > http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/WritingRules > "For our first rule, let's start with the simplest type of > rules, the basic "body" rule.
