What was in the message body? The message body is processed as a sequence of 
commands as well, so you could have a command in the subject and more commands 
in the message body. My guess is that your message body contained "This". If 
you don't want to include commands in the message body, just leave it blank or 
put a tear line (---). Nothing after the tear line should be processed.
