This tured out to be a problem I can solve with posting styles very
nicely:


,----
| 	 (posting-style
| 	  (name "foobar")
| 	  ("Return-Receipt-To" user-mail-address)
| 	  ("Disposition-Notification-To" user-mail-address)
| 	  ("X-yun.yagibdah.de-info" "ref ")
| 	  (body :file "~/some-filename.txt"))
`----


Thanks for all your help! I should have switched to gnus long ago
... The more I learn about it, the more I like it :)
