There are a lot of Unix based MTA that will allow you to do this.  There
are also some well written ones for the world of Windows; Eudora comes
to mind, as does Pegasus.

If your looking for aid/relief from some big Monopoly that writes OS's
and email clients, then don't hold your breath (though theoretically you
could write a VBA extension that allows Outlook to do this)
