Hi all,
I'm searching for a free Windows mail client that allows to add custom
headers. I had no luck with Thunderbird and Outlook. Free Agent, which
I'm currently using, doesn't support multiple mail servers. Any ideas?
TIA
Tony

I have never used it myself but this Pine has custom headers - see the
custom headers in this message (I use Pine for both mail and news).

Many thanks for that tip. I use Pine occasionally on my local Linux
box and when remotely accessing my mail account through the Internet.
But for my routine correspondence I'm searching for something more
comfortable. I've no idea why Thunderbird for example is lacking in
such an important feature.

Are they always the *same* headers and is the content of those headers
*static*? If so, you might want to (also) look for a "mail client" (MUA,
Mail/Message User Agent), which allows the user to use his M*S*A
(Mail/Message Submission Agent) of choice.
I have no specific suggestions (because I do stuff like this in
Cygwin, a Linux-like envoronment on (MS-)Windows), but by broadening
the question this way, you might get more/more_flexible answers.
HTH.

No, unfortunately that's not the case. Dependent on the routing and
the recipient they have to be different. The way Agent works with its
'Persona' related header definition, which, moreover, can be modified
within each mail, is great for that purpose, but I wondered whether
there's no free application that provides such an option.

Have you a Linux mail client in mind that can do so?
Kind regards

Sorry, no. In that paragraph I was (implicitly) referring to the M*S*A
(Mail/Message Submission Agent), which I use for 'special stuff'. That
MSA is ssmtp, a send-only sendmail-lookalike.
OTOH, I can imagine that mutt, a CUI (Character/'Console' UI) mail
client for UNIX/Linux/Cygwin/etc. can do what you want, but others would
have to confirm and you have to decide whether a CUI mail client is
acceptable/desirable.
