This should be in an FAQ:

MIMEDefang uses SpamAssassin _only_ to detect spam.  It does _not_ allow
SpamAssassin to alter the message.  If you want to alter the message,
you have to do it yourself in the filter.  Changing the SpamAssassin
config file will _not_ work.

To rewrite the subject and add X-Spam-Status:

   if ($hits >= $req) {
	action_change_header("Subject", "***SPAM*** $Subject");
        action_change_header("X-Spam-Status", "Yes");
   } else {
        action_change_header("X-Spam-Status", "No");
   }
