It's not that unusual for the Subject header to be missing. Looking over 
past emails, I've found some "ham" posts that had no subject. In any event, 
some of the posts to be trained do have  no Subject - all spam.

Here's an example from "tokens" on the untrained message page:

The untrained message page has about 60 messages. How do I know which one is 
the problem?

You've lost me. Here's my spambayes data directory:

ls
bayescustomize.ini      _pop3proxy.log            pop3proxy-spam-cache
bayescustomize.ini~     pop3proxy.log-1           pop3proxy-unknown-cache
bayescustomize.ini.bak  pop3proxy.log-evolution   spambayes.messageinfo.db
hammie.db               pop3proxy.log-evolution~  start.info
pop3proxy-ham-cache     pop3proxy.log-mozilla


When I grep for the odd "From" name I get nothing:
grep -R qziwpklwit  *

I'm looking for spam in all the wrong places.
