Related to this, but not concerning attachments…

Is there a low-level way to hack what is displayed in the header area of 
a message view? Specifically, the company I work for uses gmail 
corporate, and a lot of  ‘delegation’ access to special accounts. In 
other words, I can login to my account and have access to send and 
receive on behalf of some generic accounts like support@ and info@ and 
so on. People using the gmail browser client can see what delegate was 
sending on behalf of that account. I of course cannot see that in 
MailMate. The delegate information is an extra field in the message’s 
header.
