+1, following this thread. I also have heard that we can run mutil to post a message - and I DON'T know the answer to this... but what does the subject come thru as when you do that? If that first subject line is settable, thru the text file OR the ./mutil command line, we COULD create a script that uses some first line of the text document, or another work around, to doso. 

For now tho, I'm just watching this - as you made me think about possibilities, too. I'll dig in and learn about the mutil way and see if anything makes any sense... I'm pretty swamped right now, but good idea here.
