any needed arguments.
Normally the message body is ignored, but if the SUBJECT field is empty, the
first line of the message body is taken as the request. The example at the
end of this section lists some of the services available.
Requests are processed automatically once a day. Large files are broken down into
separate messages. However, a few files are too large to be mailed.
