Subject: subject on command line???

Is there a way to specify a subject from the command line?  Using the
standard 'mail' command I can do:

   mail -s "This is a test" [email-masked] < a_file

what I'd *like* to do is something like:

   pine -subject "This is a test" [email-masked] < a_file

Is there any way I can do this?

Why don't you use "mailx" instead of "mail".

How dare you encourage me to cheat on my beloved PINE.  I'm a faithful
man!  ;)

In any case, there's a lovely patch that allowed me to do just what I wanted
to do.  You can find all sorts of cool patches at
