For anybody who uses /use/ucb/mail (I am not sure about SV) one can
create a file named .mailcf in one's home directory.  This file can
conatin any additional headers that one would like to appear in the
outgoing message.  Here is what I have in the one I use:

	  HWork-Phone: +1 814 863 1142

This bit of magic was shown to me by one of the other systems
programmers here. I have not delved into the source for /usr/ucb/mail
to figure out what else can go in to this file or what other magic can
be done.
