Well, I think, what mutt does is quite a good thing (with :set edit_headers,
as it's called iirc). You just get a mail like this:

From: ...
To: ...
X-Foo: ...
Subject: ...
<empty line>

so you can just edit the header which you want, and they are parsed, after
closing vim. I always wanted to have such a thing, but you know, time is
short, and so much to do :) Maybe you find some time for a patch? :)
