The quick answer to your question is that you can insert any header into
an email with exim. You can make them up, off the top of you head
(illustrated).
The email RFC (2822) defines a whole load of standard headers that mail
clients should recognise. Clients ignore any header they don't know
anything about:
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html
In general, propretry headers that people have added for their own
purposes start "X-", but they don't have to (though no doubt someone will
tell us of a good reason that they should).
If you want to know what a (non-RFC2822) is used for, then try seaching
the internet for it.
