[SPAM] is not a spam marker I’ve ever seen so it seems perfectly OK to me
You are assuming, I think wrongly, that the [SPAM] tag is being used because
of a content filter and not simply a tag to identify the name of the list

it is the *default* tag for a lot of commercial spamfilters
if a message was detected as spam but not high enough to drop

Those are very stupid filters then.

Huh?

How else would you suggest that a spam filter mark messages that are

scored high enough to be "spammy" yet not high enough to be
discarded/rejected, in a manner that will clearly convey that status to
the end user?

I completely agree with Lukreme that you should never modify the subject to
indicate spam since users just reply back to the sender causing the sender to
think the reply is spam

boah and at least try to avoid that was the point of my original post - so can we now agree that [SPAM] as part of the subject is not the best idea and continue to do other things?!
