Basically, I would like to extract the "Subject" field from a message
and pass it to a shell program in the form of a variable.

This should do the trick:

SUBJECT=`formail -zxSubject:`   # these are backquotes

:0 <flags>
* conditions
| program $SUBJECT

"Gold isn't the only thing the government keeps locked away in the vaults of 
Fort Knox, KY. As part of the strategic reserve started in 1955, the 
government has stockpiled about $23 million worth of opium and morphine. 
The reserve was started in case foreign opium supplies were cut off. 
Although this is now unlikely, a Louiseville newspaper has reported that 
the government plans to spend an additional $7 million to preserve this 
national treasure."  --  New York Newsday, September 7, 1993
