Well, I don't know how to do the ideal case, but I believe you can get
MH to do the first for you.  Just create a file called "components" in
you Mail directory that contains all of the headers you want.  If you
don't currently have one in your personal directory then the default
one where the MH programs are stored is probably being used.  The
default "components" file usually contains:

To:
cc:
Subject:
-------

Just add the FCC to your private version.

To:
cc:
Fcc:
Subject:
-------

In fact, if you want to file all of your outgoing mail to a specific
folder then you can put that in, too.

To:
cc:
Fcc: foofolder
Subject:
-------

Hope this helps.
