Subject: PINE's command line options

Is there any way to tell PINE to open up in 'compose' with a certain file in the message body or attached, "To" a certain person, and with a certain "Subject"?  This is probably a lot to ask as far as automation, but it's pretty important.  Here's what I've got that comes close:

pine < /home/DATAX/PMAIL.TXT [email-masked]

This'll open it up in "Compose" with PMAIL.TXT in the body and enter [email-masked]' in the recipients list, but how do I tell it to automatically put a certain string in the Subject?

Another question:
How does PINE define the Message ID for a given message?  Is it some totally random string?  Is it possible to tack on a string of your own to make it useful in tracking specific e-mails (like e-mailed Purchase Orders, etc.)?
