Stefan,
The "Move to SPAM folder" option won't work in terms of adding another rule
for further processing. When a message is filtered, and matches the criteria
that meets the "Move to SPAM folder" option, filtering ceases on that
message. The filtering for spam options happen automatically before user
defined filter rules.
For the spam option of having the subject modified, further filtering can be
done in user filters. Unfortunately the subject has already been changed at
this point.
Our POP3 doesn't support folders, so I'm not sure if there's really a
solution on our system for what you're looking to do.
