Is there a way to include the result of check_nagios in the subject line of an e-mail?

I see you're using /bin/mail, this way there is not, use perl or python 
or something and then you can do what you want, but I can't see how to 
do it with this command unless you pipe the output to a file and then 
inline cat the file just after the -s...
