[MlMt] Machine specific header

Philip,

Tried to add the header

defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmAdditionalComposerHeaders "( { headerName = 'X-YourOrg-Info-Workstation'; defaultValue = 'Something'; type = 'plain'; } )"

I can set it ( and I can read the setting ) but it doesn’t seem to be added to the mail header.

Am I overlooking something ?
