Actually there is.  Finally, someone knows more than Chris.  :-)

Emailer Custom Mail Headers
(an unsupported* feature hack to Claris Emailer 2.0)

It is possible to include custom headers in the messages that you send 
from Claris Emailer.  There are many reasons why one might want to do 
this.  If you currently don't know why, then you most likely do not need 
to do this...

OK, here's an example: you might want to include a Precedence: List 
header so that messages you send to large groups can be processed by the 
recipients (they could have a mail action that sets list mail to a low 
priority).

How it works
The hack works by adding your new custom headers to an existing header 
field in Emailer.  The existing header field, x-mailer, is included in 
all outgoing messages that you send.  Therefore, all of the new headers 
that you add are also included in all of your outgoing messages.

Important:  If you wish to send different headers for some messages (such 
as those sent from a home account vs. a work account), you will need to 
create two copies of the Emailer application, and modify each copy 
individually.

How to do it
1.  Open a copy of the Claris Emailer application in a Resource Editor 
such as 
     Apple's ResEdit (free on many FTP sites) or Resourcerer
2.  Open the STR# resources
3.  Open the STR# resource ID 3400
4.  Scroll down to #35
5.  Place the cursor to the right of "^0" in the text field
6.  Insert a CRLF (Carriage Return, Line Feed) by pressing Control-M and 
then Control-J
7.  Type in your desired header and value (i.e. Precedence: List)

To add additional headers, repeat steps 6 and 7 until all desired headers 
have been added.

Important:  Each resource text field can only accept up to 255 characters 
of text (including CR and LF characters).  If you need to add more 
headers than that, you can use field #35, x-sender, in a similar manner.
Important:  Make sure you do not put and control characters (such as CR 
or LF characters) at the end of the text field.  This will make your 
messages unreadable by any mail server.

8.  Press Cmd-S to save your changes

>From now on, every message you send with this copy of Emailer will 
contain the new header(s).

lottery, establishing world peace, ...) in which case I will gladly take 
some of the credit :-)
