I've tried it going to Postfix and Lotus Notes, and both seem to be OK with
not putting in a blank line. Looking at the raw email, it puts the Subject
line among the other headers and separates the body from the headers with a
blank line. It looks like maybe mailers are smart enough to interpret the
first non-header as the start of the body?
A blank line wouldn't hurt, though, and may be necessary for some mailers.

You also need a blank (empty) line after the header lines (in your case,
the Subject: line), the remainder of the input then becomes the body of
the mail message.
