Any way to add a header with send-hook?
I'd like to add an extra (custom, for my use) message header to messages sent to a specific address. Send-hook explicitly doesn't do this so is there any easy way of doing this or will I have to write a little script to actually edit the file and execute that via a send-hook? -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

send-hook . unmy_hdr X-Foo
send-hook '~t [EMAIL PROTECTED]' my_hdr X-Foo: blah blah blah

Well it says in the manual:-
Also note that my_hdr commands which modify recipient headers, or
the message's subject, don't have any effect on the current message
when executed from a send-hook.
So does the above mean what it says, or have I misunderstood it?
What I'm trying to create is a macro which will do the following:-
1 - It will work exactly like the current 's' command allowing
mail to be saved in a specific mailbox. Thus the macro will
first call the 's' command.
2 - It will bounce ('b' command) a copy of the mail to a specific
(fixed) address with an added header which will contain
the name and directory of the mailbox where the message has
been saved locally.
Is the above remotely possible? It's easy enoough to create a macro
which will do the 's' and the 'b' but I'm not sure how to set about
adding the header with the required information in it. Are there
completely different ways of getting to what I want? Basically what I
want is to send a copy of all messages saved in certain mailboxes to
another system with header information indicating where it was saved
so that the remote system can archive the message automatically (using
procmail).

It means what it says, but it might not say what it means. It's saying,
I think, that my_hdr cannot modify To:, Cc:, Bcc:, or Subject: inside a
send-hook. Other my_hdr headers are fine.

Seems like it, although I don't know how you get the name of the folder
into the my_hdr, unless it's just a hard-coded part of the macro.
