I've done it as a perl script that reads the email and
adds the Cc: header if necessary. It's run before and
after invoking vim in the editor script that is invoked
by mutt.

I realised that, sometimes, my main email address is in
the From: header when the editor starts, not my work
email. Sometimes I have to change it manually in the
editor, so the preprocessor needs to run after editing
as well as before.
