If you can set up a system filter, you can add and remove headers... I
haven't tested this at all (and have never tried something like this
either), but you might be able to do something like this:

if $h_Subject matches "/^\\[SPAM\\](.*)$" then
         headers add "New-Subject: $1"
         headers remove subject
         headers add "Subject: $h_New-Subject:"
         headers remove new-subject
endif


I've only been using exim for a few months now, so if this doesn't work,
someone else will probably fix my mistakes. ;)
