I don't use mutt but some MUAs (eg, msmtp, E-MailRelay) treat the first 
paragraph of body text, if the para contains only Headers that are 
properly formatted, as headers.

I frequently use bash to either splice in some headers or expand 
existing headers (eg, to expand "user@host" to "John Smith 
<user@host>") with the two mail clients mentioned above.
