It's good that you found a way to make it work.
I did commit a change (part1
<https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/commit/ee6cbe56da89cc936529ba231889f373059eb8d9>
and part2
<https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/commit/8c0244a0e497f8f025af974778f0c33d499ff6b0>)
that adds a new config parameter $Conf{EMailAdminSubject}, so that the
admin email subject can be set. If empty it defaults to the current values.
