Is it possible to match an email message sent without a Subject field. If 
so, how?

* ! ^Subject:

This will of course catch only messages with no Subject field
whatsoever; you might also want to check for empty Subject fields.

Here's what I do:

# be sure all messages contain a Subject: line
:0
* ^Subject:
* !^Subject:[   ]*(Re:?)*[      ]*$
{ }
:0Ehfw
| formail -I "Subject: [no Subject: given in original message]"
SUBJECT=`formail -zx "Subject:"`
