In what way does it not work?  There's no subject header that matches
your pattern in a message with no subject header.

Don't forget that you can stick an exclamation mark in front of a
pattern to trigger if the pattern doesn't match.

So "!/^subject:\s*\S+/" matches if there's nothing that looks like
"subject:", perhaps followed by blank space, followed by at least one
non-space character.  Do 'help admin_body' for a full explanation of
the patterns.

But I'm not completely sure just what you mean by "filled out".  Just
using "Subject: -" is enough for the above pattern to match.
