No. Commands should be recognized in the message body provided that
they are in a text/plain message part and they are not preceded by a
non-blank, non-command.

If you are not seeing the commands at all in the processed or ignored
sections of the report, you are probably sending them in an HTML only
message or your hosting provider has disabled commands in the body
somehow.
