If you are using the hobbit-mailack tool, then keep the subject line
as-is; at most, add a DELAY=N for the number of minutes the
acknowledgement is for.

You can add a message that will be saved with the acknowledgment: the
first non-blank line of the acknowledgment e-mail is saved with the
ack in Hobbit. Does BB's mailack script support a MESSAGE=... in the
subject ? Then perhaps I should teach Hobbit to handle that as well.
