Hi, 
my question, is there a place on the web that I can find more info on
how to edit the headers on Pine, what rules I need to follow, what type of 
headers, etc. Like 
Reply-To:
Return-Receipt-To:
X-password:
I'm not familiar with it and I want to know what rules to follow, like
why Reply-To: Reply need to be capitalized and To, or what the X- means
thanks

The documentation for internet message and news formats starts with 'rfc822'
(Request For Comments) and gets more complex.

As for your specific questions, the capitalization is just convention, no
mail software is allowed to depend on a particular type. The X- marks that
this header line is _not_ defined in any of the normal standards, it's
either for human consumption or for use with specific software.
So if you want to add something different use X-Something: eg...

X-URL:
X-Face:
X-MD5:
Comments:
Keywords:
X-Warning:
X-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:
