*** Thanks. I hope it works (since I've just made the neccessary changes to
the init file, it better be OK :-)!!! But, I'm not sure the solution as 
proposed actually does what I wanted it to do. Namely, my original posting
was inspired by the my_hdr option available in mush. However, the same
.mushrc file which works nicely in mail, doesn't seem to have any effect
when mush is used from the news reader! Is that due to the fact that mush
is used with -send and -draft, while the input messg comes from the
stdin??

Is there a way of overcoming this problem (ie not being able to use
my_hdr option /and, for that matter, other goodies which mush provides/),
or am I (yet again :-) missing something important??
