Sounds like you want "forwardcopy".

Here --------- Snip Here --------- Snip Here --------- Snip Here --------- Snip
# forwardcopy
# forwards a COPY of mail to others
# usage: forwardcopy mailbox forwarder(s)...

MAILBOX=$1; shift
FORWARDERS=$*
TMPMAIL=/tmp/tmpmail$$

# Put mail in a tmp file and extract the subject
cat >$TMPMAIL
set `grep "^Subject:" $TMPMAIL`; shift; SUBJECT="$* (fwd)"

# Copy contents of TMPMAIL to mailbox
cat $TMPMAIL >>/usr/mail/$MAILBOX

# Send contents of TMPMAIL to FORWARDERS
elm -s "$SUBJECT" $FORWARDERS <$TMPMAIL

# Clean up when done
rm -f $TMPMAIL
