Adding A String header to beginning of XML

Question

I need to add the following header to an XML file.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE mm24Hour SYSTEM 'XMLnotepad.dtd'>
The XML comes in as email and then I run an agent that copies the Email Body to a field on another document. From this document I run a JavaXML Parser (Non-Validating)that works really good.
What I want to do is validate the XML before it is Parsed. From all that I have read i have to have a header at the beginning of the XML file.
My question is How do I add that header to the beginning of the XML file???? Each XML file is different but the DTD works on all of them when the header is present. (I have tested this manually)
Here is a copy of the XML:
[<mm24Hour>
<machinemonitorv1r0_status>
<serialn>Dual041973</serialn>
<trntime>07:30:50</trntime>
<trndate>2003/8/20</trndate>
<intsoftversion> VERSION 00.15 </intsoftversion>
<modsoftversion>$Version: eDsoft-101_V4.7.7 $</modsoftversion>
<intconfigversion>DUAL Config 041973RA</intconfigversion>
<connectduration>49</connectduration>
<phonenumbout>5411105</phonenumbout>
<opsoftversion> BrewWISE 01.15 </opsoftversion>
</machinemonitorv1r0_status>
</mm24Hour>]
Here is the Java agent that parses it. (Note if I change the line
[ org.w3c.dom.Document xDoc = it.parseXML(false);] to true it will try to validate.
