No, that is incorrect. The subject is a header and is issued
after the DATA
command before the blank line. I tried it just to be
thurough and received
an error on the command line.

250 local recipient ok

500 Unknown command (SUBJECT (subject:
This is the subject)

Yes, but none of them should be screwing with the headers
(as in not
showing them or forgeting them).

I'm just concerned that I am entering them in the wrong
order but I can't
find anything that says the headers have to be in a specific
order. Which
leaves me to think that surgemail may have a bug in it that
does not allow
a telnet session from a windows box to enter these
commands.
