Using sendmail, you can put the subject in the text  file.

/usr/sbin/sendmail -f nosuchuser@(protected) -O
NoRecipientAction=add-to validuser@(protected) < mail.txt

Where mail.txt contains:

Subject: Test message

This is a test, this is only a test.
Had this been an actual message, it
would have contained useful data.

The result the recipient sees:

Test message
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 06:34:45 -0500
From: nosuchuser@(protected)
To: [..snip...]

This is a test, this is only a test.
Had this been an actual message, it
would have contained useful data.
