Unhappy Outlook rewrites subject line to "SPAM: [original subject]"

I'm working with a customer of mine who I believe has some form of malware on his machine that is rewriting the subject line for all of his outbound emails. Here are the symptoms.

1. The office has quite a few users and they all use the same SMTP server. Only one user is has this problem.
2. When the problem user composes an email with a certain subject, the recipient receives the email, but the subject is always preceded with SPAM:
3. The mail headers show that Spam Assassin looked at it, but scored it as non-spam.

Has anyone heard of or seen anything like this? Does any have any ideas how to fix it? I have included the mail headers below (with slight modifications to protect the innocent):
