It was. :-)  It is "American Community College Survey For 2010"

That did not make any difference.

I would like it to be the exact same subject the sender will use for
the project.
However, I did try matching on each word separately (each with own
header record)
and tests showed non of the rules matched.

This is appropriate to this list because these patterns apparently
work in SA rules in SA
files because grep shows identical (except for the words) rules all
over SA rule files.

They do not work when in the /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf file.

I do not want to have to start modifying SA directly and thus spread
customizations
 to other file locations. A primary advantage (to me) of MailScanner is the
centralization of customizations.

So, at this point I may rewrite my question to be:

Does MailScanner support the use of the "header" type rule in
spam.assassin.prefs.conf file
or more generally does MailScanner support all of the rule types
supported by Spamassassin
within the spam.assassin.prefs.conf file?
