nail set header

Hi all.

I am kind a new in Linux, so please forgive me if some statements will be dumb.
So for some unknown reason server I am working on is using nail command instead of mail and mailx. I have googled around and fined out that it is possible to set mail header using command mail and option -a. But for nail option -a is attaching files. I tried to read nail manual (over 2000 lines), but I haven't found any alternative way to set headder.
If any body knows how to set header using linux mail client - nail, I would be very greatful.

I am using openSUSE 2.6.16.46-0.12-smp x86_64
version of nail: nail 11.25 7/29/05

Thanks in advance
Ricardas

LEARN ABOUT FREEBSD

shar

SHAR(1) 						    BSD General Commands Manual 						   SHAR(1)

NAME

     shar -- create a shell archive of files

SYNOPSIS

     shar file ...

DESCRIPTION

     The shar command writes a sh(1) shell script to the standard output which will recreate the file hierarchy specified by the command line op-
     erands.  Directories will be recreated and must be specified before the files they contain (the find(1) utility does this correctly).

     The shar command is normally used for distributing files by ftp(1) or mail(1).

EXAMPLES

     To create a shell archive of the program ls(1) and mail it to Rick:

	   cd ls
	   shar `find . -print` | mail -s "ls source" rick

     To recreate the program directory:

	   mkdir ls
	   cd ls
	   ...
	   <delete header lines and examine mailed archive>
	   ...
	   sh archive

SEE ALSO

     compress(1), mail(1), tar(1), uuencode(1)

HISTORY

     The shar command appeared in 4.4BSD.

BUGS

     The shar command makes no provisions for special types of files or files containing magic characters.  The shar command cannot handle files
     without a newline ('
') as the last character.

     It is easy to insert trojan horses into shar files.  It is strongly recommended that all shell archive files be examined before running them
     through sh(1).  Archives produced using this implementation of shar may be easily examined with the command:

	   egrep -v '^[X#]' shar.file
