 Sends a copy of the file you are sending to you.  If you send a
 message from the DCL command level, you can specify the /NOSELF
 qualifier to override the setting established by the SET COPY_SELF
 command in the MAIL Utility.  Specifying /SELF or /NOSELF on the
 DCL command line has no effect on the messages you send from within
 the MAIL Utility.

/SUBJECT="text"

 Specifies the subject of the mail. (The subject must be enclosed in
 quotation marks if it consists of more than one word.)
