1/ When you say "via the command line", do you mean you will be doing
this manually? If so, "just use `mutt`" :-)

2/ If you want to have headers changed in an automated way (and maybe
you don't), you might have a look at `formail` ("works for me").

3/ If you want to automatically have mail forwarded (and/or have headers
changed), read your qmail documentation (e.g. `man 1 forward`). You
might also want to look at `procmail`. If you want to have mail
automatically but conditionally forwarded *and* have its headers
modified, a traditional approach is to combine `procmail` with
`formail`. I have lost too much mail to go near the Exim mailer for real
use, but it may be worth pointing out that it has its own filtering
language.
