Yes.  The syntax is similar to the Variable: header in other AMI commands,
such as Originate.  Instead of setting a dialplan variable, however, you
are instead setting a Message technology variable that will be interpreted
by the channel technology that services the Message request.  For the SIP
channel driver, that implies that each one specifies a header to set.

For example:

Action: MessageSend
To: sip:foo.com
From: mypeer
Variable: X-Movial-Content=application/x-movial-control;forwarding=true
Variable: X-Other-Header=bar
