Brackets generally indicate optional items, and should not appear in the
actual command you use. But spaces are delimiters between command line
arguments. Traditionally, if there are spaces in your command line, you can
enclose it in quotes, i.e. ... -s "Subject Line" ... or ... -s Subject_Line
... but not ... -s Subject Line ... or even ... -s [Subject line]. Unless
you want the brackets to appear, a la [IMail Forum], in which case it would
be ... -s "[IMail Forum]"
Disclaimer: I'm not using this system, so I really have no idea whether the
above description applies. Since this is more-or-less standard practice with
batch files and the like, I would say that if it didn't work as I've
described, IT SHOULD. My $0.02.....

I had to change it to Subject_Line it seems that the space was throwing it
off.
