i'm not sure i agree. frankly, the first-line snippet that scan
provides instead of a subject is hardly useful enough to be worth it.
i'd be just as happy if scan <<Missing Subject>> or somesuch.
The tail end of my usual scan format:
%(decode{subject})\
%(void{content-type})\
%<(match multipart)\
%?(match text/html)\
%|%<{body} <<%{body}%>\
%>
In other words, if the outermost MIME time is multipart/* or text/html,
don't bother with using %body to display the first 10-50 chars of the
body (depending how long the Subject: line was). That deals with 99% of
the problem.
