Wow, fairly easy. Thanks! I wonder why they don't tell you this in the 
sendmail groups on Usenet. All solutions I could find involved procmail.
Only caveat here is that it won't add any to if there is more than one 
recipient.

I prefer to have this generated from the mc files, so I can easily 
recreate after a small config change and carry over to other machines. If 
everyone else wants to know: this is in proto.m4, you can just add it 
below the other header lines in the "Format of headers" section and it 
will show up in the sendmail.cf then.

Doesn't add extra lines, I see, but makes it harder to build mail filing 
rules.
