What is needed is the original Subject. No, what is needed in the subject line is an informative message which tells you why the bug has been closed. Using close with the control interface should not be done unless you've already sent a mail to the bug submitter explaining that their bug has been closed. The subject contains the subject of the message that actually caused the bug to be closed, and explains what the message that it is sending you is about, which it did.
