My take on it is the following.
You send an email to request@bugs.debian.org because you want to know
all about bug # 22:
Subject: Everything on bug # 22
(body of message containing one command and one control terminator)
send-detail 22 (command)
thank you (control terminator)
The automated program derives the subject line of its reply from
the sender's subject line (common practice in the email world):
Reply:
Subject: Re: Everything on bug # 22
Blah blah blah blah on bug # 22
