The same thing happened to me this morning but the email had been moved 
to my spam folder by my Sieve rule on our Cyrus mail server.

Thunderbird 0.9 showed the 2nd Subject tag in the message list pane (the 
one without MS's spam warning) but it used the 1st Subject tag in the 
message view pane!!!
