The only un-commented send-hook in the huge muttrc file you sent was one
that tries to set the subject header. I believe there is a limitation
that the subject cannot be set by send-hooks. But any other header
should be settable.

Why use Mutt? Why not simply format your headers the way you want them
to be, in your script, and then send the result directly to "sendmail -t"?
open(MAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail -t");
print MAIL "From: Bogus User <bogus\@example.com>\n";
print MAIL "To: Another User <another\@example.com>\n";
print MAIL "Subject: This is very important\n";
print MAIL "\n";
print MAIL "This is my message to you.\n";
close(MAIL);
If you don't want the recipients to show in the headers, don't use
sendmail's -t flag; instead put the users on the command line:
@recipients = ( "bogus\@example.com", "another\@example.com" );
open(MAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail @recipients");
print MAIL "From: Bogus User <bogus\@example.com>\n";
print MAIL "To: undisclosed-recipients:;\n";
print MAIL "Subject: This is very important\n";
print MAIL "\n";
print MAIL "This is my message to you.\n";
close(MAIL);

Try "send-hook ~A 'my_hdr X-My-Header: blah'" and I think you will see
that send-hooks do work.
