Hello, I would like to be able to add headers such as X-Administrative-To:
and X-Messages-To: to some of my outgoing mail (for a mailing list I run).

How can I do this?  I use Elm, but I'd rather not have to be tied to one
mail program.  Sendmail is the transfer agent we use.

Thanks for any help!

i just did:

	H?X?X-btw: vix.com is also vixie.sf.ca.us

and 

	Mether, P=[IPC], F=mDFMuCX, S=11, R=21, A=IPC $h
	Mtcp,   P=[IPC], F=mDFMuCXL, S=14, R=14, A=IPC $h, E=\r\n

that is, i added an H line which is dependent on flag X (an unused flag),
and then added X to the F= clauses of each mailer i wanted to have add
this header.

this is all in sendmail.cf.  if you want something that's specific to
each user, you'll have to do it in your user agent.
