Hmmm.  never encountered this.  off the top of my head, no, I don't see
anything easy on this.  your MTA generally just appends to
headers..doesn't really muck with them unless you're masq'ing.  I don't
think this functionality exists without doing the hack macro.

w/o knowing what your overall goal is i can't suggest alternatives..but
i'd instinctively say do it at your MUA not the MTA.  sendmail is just
to send and receive, if ya wanna handle the X-bleh stuff let your
delivery agent or MUA do the proper things.
