Be reasonable! The guy wants to automate some mailing list thing
and legitimately wants to be able to set the subject! 

Besides, the message-id header is how a *mail client* is supposed 
to relate a reply to the original (not the subject header). 
In your case I got:
>Message-Id: <20021113161225.SAY7043.smtp02.fuse.net@CGA30p>

The big problem is that PMMail neither generates message-ids, neither 
can it honour them to do message threading! Many other mail 
clients can however (this is especially frustrating considering
the original pmmail's companion news-reader, PMINews does both 
generate and honour messgae-ids to do true message threading, so 
the original authors even had the code!)
