} Is there any way that this can be done easily?

No, but you can do it the hard way.  Use the "eval -h" command to set a
variable to the information you want to test:

    eval -h set to = %a

will set $to to the address of the sender of the current message.  Then
"source" a mush script that tests $to:

    if $to == dheller@cory.berkeley.edu
	my_hdr X-Look-At-This-Dan: I made my own header
    endif

Finally, "reply" as usual.  All this can be bundled up in a "cmd".

Mush 6.6 (currently at beta version 15) provides a :l modifier to force
all characters in a variable expansion to lower case, so the above could
be made more robust as:

    if $to:l == dheller@cory.berkeley.edu

which would match dheller@cory.berkeley.EDU and dheller@cory.Berkeley.EDU
and so on.
