The filters have  been improved in 1.8b.  If you want I can  send you the
beta.

One problem is that some people are  not able to define a subject at all,
either because  they use a  mail system (usually gatewayed)  that doesn't
have the  concept or because  the "Subject:"  keyword is in  the national
language and the gateway doesn't translate  it (most PC mail systems have
everything in  the national language,  because it hasn't occurred  to the
translators that  they should translate this  only in the GUI  and not in
the stuff  sent over the  network). Anyway there  is currently no  way to
reject messages without a subject.
