A few years ago I expermientally tried adding a rule to my spam filter
to discard mail whose subject was all-caps. The next message I
received was from my brother-in-law with subject 'F.Y.I.'.
I adjusted the rule to only reject messages with all-caps subjects if
they were longer than 10 characters. The following day, I got mail
from my most important client with a subject something like "URGENT:
THE WEB SITE IS BROKEN".
That was the end of that rule.
