Hmm. Will Outlook and Exchange Server even let you do that? I've done some massaging of e-mail headers in Linux and this'n'that mail reader, but not on Windows with Outlook (which is what we get here at the office). Perhaps there's a setting/preference that I've overlooked, but the bulk of header info is hidden from me in the Outlook interface. I can track down the messages and see everything using a programmer's editor, directly on the Outlook file, but that doesn't let me do anything with outgoing mail. It's all IMAP (or Microsoft's version) from here, so after local composing, or editing for a reply, the attachment of new header stuff happens at the server.
