The recmail program from the netnews distribution does similar things.
Standard procedure is to make a prototype header for the user, fire
up an editor, and when it exits, hand the text to recmail. It picks out
the To: and Cc: fields and mails off the letter with /bin/mail, which
will accept *anything* as input. Voila! Editable headers.
