Can't help there, but in my case I'd say 100% of the time that my email id
appears anywhere in the subject it is spam. That would be fairly easy to check
for, but I don't know what the FP rate would be for other people with email ids
like "will" or similar.

Subject: Thoughts on a possible rule
I've noticed that in 99% of cases where the subject line starts with a first
name, the email is spam. The only way I can think to check for this, though is
to keep a large database of common first names and check against it. Can
anyone suggest a way to implement this that wouldn't slow SpamAssassin down to
a crawl?
