Mail issue - Subject title missing

I am not getting the Subject Title when sending mail from a Solaris server to the Outlook recipient.


Example:

#mail -s "Testing Subject title" xxx@mymail.com
Test
.
#


Here's what it shows in Microsoft Outlook (lil bit altered, but similar to it)

Thank you for your time.

mailx works fine.. thanks.

The users have bunch of scripts with mail embedded - the worst case if have them alter all to mailx.. in the mean time, I'm still longing for the answer. I'm also having the Exchange adminstrators looking at it.
