But are you talking about creating a text file on your own and writing it into the EmailFolder directory or adding an undocumented string into the [sendmail] context. Even though I've done my share of hacking with the email system (see the archives for some interesting things I've discovered and documented) I also have had my share of disappointments when it comes to changing the email headers. So let's see some specific (untested) code examples. Thanks!
