Is there a way to filter for e-mails that have a blank subject line?

You can search for emails with no subject using:

subject:"no subject"

...In a regular email client the subject lines will actually be blank
but in the gmail web app, null subject lines actually read "(no
subject)" so this search seems to work.

This does not work:

Mail from this User client will be displayed with a filter as described above:
User-Agent: Microsoft-Entourage/12.24.0.100205
Date: xxxx
Subject: <no subject>

but not from this one:
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.5
Subject: 
Date: xxxx

So is there a way to pick up ALL e-mails that have blank or empty Subject: fields?
