Make sure that you do NOT include quotations in the command. When an email command is entered in the alert definition, it ends up with quotes being converted to " in the database. When this is feed to the shell, when an alert fires, it gets pretty unhappy.
I had tried to add the following;
echo _field3_ | mail -s “Pandora: _agent_ _field2_” _field1_what was presented to the shell at execution was
echo “the content of field 3” | mail -s " Pandora: myserver “content of field 2” " someone@domainI ended up having to put the prefix on each individual alert. But it does work.

The advantage with putting it in the alert creation would have been consistent subject lines so that mail filters can move the messages into folders etc.
If I had been able to put “Pandora: _agent_ – _field2_” on the alert when created, then all modules using it would have that prefix in the subject line and it would not need to be repeated on an each individual module. As it is currently, I have had to repeat it and put “Pandora: _agent_ – ” in field2 on each module.
But as stated previously, it does work.
