Sorry it's not working for me, this is why I asked the question. I use version 6.04.01. There must be something wrong with it.
Works fine in V7+

I am on v7 and it works just fine. Indeed I have system vars set for standard DOMAIL messages used by almost all jobs. Saves a lot of time and gives users a consistent message format . There is one "gotcha" an that is the 99 char limit in Subject lines. Easy to exceed when using Symbolics. You might try symbolics in the message lines where they also work.

Hello,
We are using CM 6.4.01.500 version and variables in the Subject line do not work.
What version of 6.4 are you using to get variables in the Subject????

Can some post a working example of how autoedit variables work on a subject line of a mail. Per the 6.4 paramters guide autoedit variables can be used in:
Parameters that accept AutoEdit variables
AutoEdit variables can be specified as values for any of the following job processing parameters. These variables are resolved to actual values at time of job submission.
Command
Do Mail (the To and Message fields)
Do Shout (the Destination and Message fields)
Do Sysout (Prm field)
File Name
In Condition (system variables can be specified as the entire value)
Mem Lib
Mem Name
Out Condition (system variables can be specified as the entire value)
Over Lib
Path
Quantitative Resource (system variables can be specified as the entire value)
Shout (the Destination and Message fields)
Step Range
Sysout (Prm parameter)
From 8.0 parameter guide. page 167
Subject->Variable Support: No. A variable or expressioin cannot be specified as all or part of the value for this parameter.
