Any variable that is not special goes into the mail body, however i think
you may have to make mods to the script to use it for signing people up
for a mail list as it also includes some lead-in text in the generated
email, ie: "print MAIL "Below is the result of your feedback form...."

unless you can subscribe using only the subject line...
