For this kind of reason (not trusting "mail" to be anything in
particular) I always call sendmail itself, usually via this script:

http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/css/bin/mailsubj

So:

echo hello | mailsubj -s "subject here" address...

Does the same job, but at least you _know_ what its going to do.
