The documentation (man page) is actually very well written and clear:
-a Specify additional header fields on the command line such as "X-
Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" etc. You have to use quotes if the
string con-
tains spaces. This argument may be specified more than once, the
headers will then be concatenated.
so.. 'mail -s "blah" -a "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Good luck,
