This is what I do in my $HOME/.mushrc file:

#
# mail headers for outgoing mail
#
my_hdr Mail-Stop: "..... 12-33"
my_hdr Extension: "..... x65568"
my_hdr Phone-Number: ".. (415) 336-5568"
my_hdr Organization: ".. Sun GSG Marketing"

This works particularly well if you work for Sun Microsystems :-)
Note however, for reasons unknown to modern man, that these are displayed in my
headers in reverse order.  So you would do something like this:

my_hdr Telephone: "xxxxxxxx"
my_hdr Group: "CIS"
my_hdr Organization: "Excelan Corp."

Note, that white space is eaten up, including tabs.  So if you want to left
justify your headers, you must use some delimiter.  I use dots (universally
available on most computer keyboards ;-), but you might use "_____" as well.
