Correct, its a new feature in Outlook 2010 - it was a frequently
requested feature in previous version but was never added to them.
While no subject might increase the spam confidence level a little, its
not why it was added - many users asked for it. Some people might
filter on no subject, figuring its spam, but its no guarantee either
way.

It's good netiquette to include a subject, even if its just FYI... i
either use that or paste the URL in the subject and the body. I'm
actually annoyed when people (like my daughter) don't use subjects. She
could at least put 'hey mom' in the subject... then conversation view
would group all her messages together, not mixed with all the other no
subject messages.
