I would recommend against putting it in the elmheaders file.

I put return receipt in there and then I posted to a mailing list.  I
got back 250 return receipts.  The problem in the elmheaders file is
that you cannot edit it out for such things.  It gets inserted after
you tell Elm to send the mail.  A better place would be when elm asks
if you want to send the mail, just tell it (u)ser defined header and
then insert the line there.  I posted about this in comp.mail.elm 2-3
weeks ago.  All I got back was a guy saying the above to me.  No word
from Syd or anyone else.
