How about feeding the mail header through an awk program?  Awk programs are
quite readable.  (Especially compared to the existing sendmail language.)

In fact, I think I'll try it here...

P.S.  I'm not a sendmail guru, but I know enough about mail to install smail
      on an oddball system. (Xenix System V -- SVID with Berkeley-derived mail!)
