I can not expect any scripts that calls msmtp (sendmail) to push that
header. I need msmtp to appent/prepend it.

I've been used patched ssmtp to do this. I would like to switch to msmtp
because of ability using $HOME/.msmtprc for configuring smtp servers,
authentication etc. I have some other problems passing some env variables to
it (suexec,PHP like to drop'em all), but currently it partially works. 
I now need the extra header.
