Thanks for the reply.

I would like to do the following steps:
1. Get an e-mail from an account by pop3.
2. Alter the headers in that mail (simple text processing).
3. Send out that same mail to a few dozen addresses that I get form a 
database. The mail should be the one that was pop3-ed, I must not create 
a new multipart message. So after the text processing (step 2) I 
consider the mail text (= ruby string) ready for sending, no further 
processing needed.

For sending.

-- I could use Net::SMTP.start..... -- but I don't want to use SMTP on 
localhost, I'd prefer the pickup transport.

-- and I could use:

File.popen(/usr/sbin/sendmail, "w") do
  | pipe |
    pipe.puts ....
....
....

But thought there is a nicer way to do this... Is there?
