How does this differ from creating a bunch of custom headers with the
my_hdr command and using "set edit_hdrs"?  Also look at the -h and -H
options to the internal "mail" command ...

What exactly do you want to echo?  You can always use "sh echo ..." to
get the /bin/sh echo command, and then you can use ">" to redirect.
If you want some of the features of "echo -h" or "echo -p", try using
"eval -h sh echo ... > file" or the same thing with "eval -p".
