The problem is that cc:Mail, or more exactly the SMTP gateway, doesn't allow 
you to specify header fields directly.

However, it may be possible for you to do what you want nonetheless.  I don't 
know about the cc:Mail Link to SMTP, but I use the Link to UUCP package, and 
from what I've read, the formats for how it handles things may be similar 
enough for you to use a trick that I've found useful.

Under your SMTPLINK directory, are there subdirectories called INBOX and 
OUTBOX?  If so, you can just throw an RFC822 message (with a filename of 
"FAKEMAIL", for example) into the OUTBOX directory, along with a corresponding 
"FAKEMAIL.TO" file which contains a list of message recipients.  SMTPLink 
should process this message as scheduled, keeping all headers intact.

Try some fakemail experiments and verify that it works for you.  It should be 
fairly simple to write a program that will add an "Approved:" header to a 
message that you can save in to a text file from cc:Mail.
