As long as you're talking pine, I presume you're on a UNIX system.
Just save the message to a file (with all headers), and edit both headers
and body to what you want, being careful that the new headers are still
RFC-compliant (e.g., continued header lines start with white space;
blank line separates headers from the message body). Then just
feed the file to sendmail:
sendmail -oi -t < youreditedfile
and you will send what you want, not what some mail client author
thinks you wanted. (Note... sendmail is probably not in your
default path; you'll probably have to either put it there or
give the full path, such as /usr/lib/sendmail .)
If your system is not running sendmail, other MTAs probably have
similar invocation; or you can use vanilla UNIX "mail" (check the
man page) similarly to the sendmail example.
Hope that helps,
Stan
