I don't think you can do add a hashtag to an existing topic, except through the web site (Edit Topic). So the example of closing a topic by email wouldn't work.
Shal,
It's true that you can't (successfully) add a hashtag via email. But you can't lock a topic using a hashtag anyway, even if you add it via the web.
First, there's no such hashtag feature yet. It was one of my requests/suggestions on beta yesterday. You can set a hashtag duration, and set it to lock after that duration, but the minimum duration is one hour. There's no hashtag setting that will lock a topic.
Second, even if there were such a hashtag - one that locks a topic immediately (which there isn't) - adding such a hashtag to an existing topic via the web will not successfully lock it, since replies via email to the originally-named-topic email will still get through.
