ls -l |mail -s "subject line" root should work.....does it work from the command line?

Greetings,
I am having a bit of trouble with a script that should email root the output of a command but also have a subject line.
Currently we just run the command from cron and it gets sent to root's email but with a subject line. So, I thought i would make a script that added the subject.
I was hoping for something as easy as:
mail -s"subject line" root | ls -la
even when I output the command to a file and then try to redirect I get failures.
mail -s"subject line" root < somefile
mail complains of unknow users 'subject' and 'line'.
Is there a simple way?
