How did this despicable character get through on a moderated list? Maybe the moderator can and should write to gmail alerting them to this spammer so that his account can be withdrawn.

Please tell us that you did not just blindly click on a link in an email with a blank Subject: line? :-)

What can I enter in Thunderbird filters to have it automatically delete messages with no subject? My attempts so far have deleted all the Fedora messages with "Subject: Re:" even though there was text after the colon! Leaving it blank has no effect.

Good question.
Disclaimer goes Here. This seems to work but I have *not* tried this extensively. Yet. :-)
Every blank subject email that I have seen is not really blank but it actually has a <space> in the Subject: line and the reply to that email has an Re:<space> in it's Subject: line. I can *not* say that is always the case but all that I have looked at are that way.
Perhaps a filter that looks for a Subject: line that contains both of these (two lines in the filter) would work and not catch the legitimate replies to legitimate posts?
Screen capture here for example: http://www.box.net/shared/7sztbg7zqk
The first line contains a <space> only and the second line contain a RE:<space>
The 'Actions' line could also be used to filter to a folder to 'be looked at later' or to just delete the emails. Your choice. The filter would have to be at, or near, the top of your filters list or at least above the the filters for the mailing lists that you want to check.
But remember that not all blank Subject: emails are spam. Sometimes a Newbie posts like that and it is a legitimate question or problem. As well as the replies.

The list admins will probably hate this, but it could be more effective for the Mailman s/w to return such mail to sender with the comment that all mail to the list must have a non-empty Subject line. That could actually help the newbies and in general the spammers won't bother replying.

Good idea. If that is possible (I don't doubt you) I wonder why no one thought of it before now? I like that solution much more than just 'kill file' or ignoring the post. :-)

Excellent idea. I try drilling into students that it is a security risk to send e-mail without subject.

Basic rule here...
No header, no read...just delete

But, but, but... you read it! ;-)
Personally, I think it'd be nice if you could set a rule on your software that if the subject line is, say, less than 7 characters long, reject it.

Nice rule, except that it can not always be enforced.
