Theoretically, it is possible. However, there are some caveats. You will
need to keep some of the headers so that Blat can "append" them to its own
outgoing headers. Basically, you want to remove any header that has
identifiable information such as "Received:", "To:", "From:", "Cc:", and
"X-OriginatingIP:". You can run your saved messages through AWK to strip
out unwanted headers, and then use the output as raw input to Blat. With
the -raw option, Blat will build its own headers immediately above the ones
from your raw output, meaning there will be -no- blank lines after Blat's
headers to separate them from ones you provide in your raw output.
