If I remeber correctly the variable for the order subject is
mv_order_subject. You should get the order number with %n.


set mv_order_route on the final submission form (has to be a cgi var) to
anything, and define a Route in your configuration. I don't know how well
this is documented as I have switched from reading docs to the code itself.


cheers, Frank
