Do you have "Show Filtered Posts" enabled? What version are you running? In 4.0, I've got \.htm and \.html in my Reject Subject Filter setting and it works fine.

Since most spam lie's about the content, most HTML files aren't listed as such in the subject field. You need filename filters too to filter out spam like this.
