Same thing as when you asked about attaching files; I think I mentioned at
the time it also didn't include headers. Subject: is probably the most
important header --- although many mail systems will reject it if it also
doesn't have From: and preferably Date: and Message-Id:.

You might poke around to see if there is a module that implements at least
RFC822 and preferably RFC2422 to build a proper message.
