Subject:Re: Should I Open When Subject Includes This: [SP%M]? (no msg)

Jack, if that's a list reply or similar with a Re: or Fwd: at the
begtinning of the Subject: field it means that someone else's ISP or
email software thought the message was spam and inserted that into
the subject to tell them so.  They saw it was a list message and
replied to it without remembering to take [SPAM] out of the subject header.

If it's a message direct to you then it's probably your ISP informing
you that the message fits their test criteria as suspected spam.  If
you're using web-based email it would be the email provider and not
the ISP.  If you have a web-based provider but retrieve your mail
using conventional email software it could be both.  Check with the
documents and/or help desk for both of them to see wheat they do and
what options you have.

Yours,
d
