I know that :-)

That too :-) But the company i work for doesn't want to reject these
legit, but syntactically incorrect, messages :-( (Just as i'm not
allowed to reject hosts that HELO with underscores, etc, etc ... :()

Exactly. And i wonder if this behaviour is what one would want at this
moment. In my opinion it's bad that the message doesn't get delivered in
THIS way. The filter is correct, just because Exim decides to
concatenate the subject lines without a space it breaks. Maybe it is
possible to concat $h_Subject: /with/ spaces. ;)

Thanks. I'll play around with that a bit. Should work...

Thanks and kind regards,
