A lot of my spam lately has had an IS encoded subject line, like:
Since none of my friends ever use IS encoded subject lines, I wanted to create a rule to flags those messages. However, everything I've found indicates that Spamassassin tests the decoded subject line, not the raw subject line.
I've tried:
header SUBJECT_ISENCDED Subject =~ /=?iso-8859/i
but that doesn't seem to work.
Is there any way I can run a rule on the raw header to detect whether or not it's encoded? If so, could you please show me how?
TIA.

but that doesn't seem to work.

From a previous message to the list I dug up:

header RULE_NAME HeaderName:raw ~=//. (3.0.0 or higher) Checks header without
any QP or base64 decoding. Best for looking for illegal unencoded
characters in

Is there any way I can run a rule on the raw header to detect
whether or not it's encoded? If so, could you please show me how?

TIA.
