Hi Jack,
I've cc'd the TechOps, since this question probably deserves multiple minds.
My thought is that the "X-Spam-Flag: YES" is sufficient. I believe that
all recent-vintage email clients allow filtering on arbitrary headers.
In fact, I used to do so with Eudora before I switched to Mozilla.
Also, I'm worried about liability issues potentially involved with
changing subject lines.
Other thoughts?
