You can set $editor to a script (it will be invoked with as its only
parameter the path to a file containing the message, including headers
if $edit_headers is set) which makes the adjustments you want and then
launches your normal editor or exits with an appropriate status.

formail is useful for reading and modifying mail headers from within a
script.

On another note, please don't use someone's real domain name (like
foo.com) as an example. It's better to use one of the domains reserved
for the purpose; for example, example.com or isp.example. You might
