This is not possible. Technically, it would be possible to allow virtual 
headers for which the user supplies a command to fill out its value, 
e.g., to provide something like “From ▸ Address ▸ LDAP 
Department”, but it would be extremely slow if applied to a large set 
of emails. I guess it would work best as a built-in feature.

This is similar to some thoughts I've had on better Contacts integration 
and I'll add a note to make sure I remember that LDAP values would be 
useful as well.
