FWIW, the messages I saw with two subject fields (back when I cared about 
such things) had two misleading/garbage/bad subject fields, not one with a 
bad value and one with an appropriate value.

My choice was to keep the shortest syntactically valid subject. But based 
on the data I saw I considered deleting both to be a defensible option.

I see I also analysed messages with two content-type, 
content-transfer-encoding, message-id and date fields, but don't seem to 
have seen any where deleting both was appropriate.
