Add header from commandline

Hi all

I just noticed, I ask some pretty wierd questions :)

Is there a way to add a header to a mail in the queue?

I want to add a header that looks something like

X-Route_via: <route gateway>

from the commandline.

Thank you in advance
Ian

Now for sounding stupid (or blind)

I managed to get this working for mails coming in, but I want to be
able to change the route via which it is sent, after it has been
queued/frozen.

Regards
Ian

Why not adjust your routers, not the queue contents?

If you really want to be able to hand-pick a route for each message, then as a
last resort you could probably add a router which looks up $h_Message-ID:
somewhere, and uses that route if found, and falls through to the next router
if not. Then simply lookup's database/file/whatever with
Message-ID/routing-info pairs.
