  I would have to shut down PMMail, delete the respective entries in
the FOLDER.BAG and then reindex the folder. Only then does PMMail use
the changed subject. 

  Or, as you write, by filtering in the message receive exit, but
this would require to look into each and every message, before and
instead of the filtering process done by PMMail's own filter
configuration.

  It would be good if we could specify the ISCL variable $h.subject$
as the value for the SetSubject action in the filter, to get PMMail
to look at the changed subject line again.
