I asked Julian a few months ago about Subject changes for dangerous
html. It would be a major rewrite of some code.

For filenames there is allready:
|# If an attachment triggered a filename check, but there was nothing
|# else wrong with the message, do you want to modify the subject line?
|# This makes filtering in Outlook very easy.
|# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
|Filename Modify Subject = yes
|
|# This is the text to add to the start of the subject if the
|# "Filename Modify Subject" option is set.
|# You might want to change this so your users can see at a glance
|# whether it just was just the filename that MailScanner rejected.
|# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
|Filename Subject Text = {Filename?}
