Spamassassin scores the message

    *  1.8 MISSING_SUBJECT MISSING_SUBJECT

for not having a Subject line. ??

I found an apparently related bug that says RESOLVED

    "MISSING_SUBJECT is wrong"
    https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5207

but I honestly can't understand the "resolution".

Like in the bug, I've checked the message with

    spamassassin -LD check 4589 >& /dev/null

and see no errors.

Why is SA saying my message has no "Subject"?
