The easiest solution would be to add the header at the start of the 
message. You will have to write a small script which calls the command 
and, if the command says that the message is trash, first outputs the 
header and then the message. A header line looks as follows:

X-My-Header: This is trash

i.e. it consists of the header name 'X-My-Header' followed by a colon 
followed by the header text.
