headers of all outbound mail.
Entries in the elmheaders file should have the following format:
header-name: header-string
header-name: must not contain blanks. header-string can be continued over several lines by preceding
each continuation line with blanks, as indicated by the output below.
Within the
elmheaders file, you can use backquotes (left apostrophes) to execute shell commands when
the file is read, so that an entry of the form:
X-Operating-System: ‘uname -a‘
would produce a header entry like:
X-Operating-System:

According to RFC 822, user-defined header names should begin with
X- or x-. Otherwise, they risk hav-
ing their usage overridden if the name is later standardized with some other meaning.
