Actually, the body pane... (Just where are you proposing to put all those 
headers in the header pane? =;^)

I understood that is what you were referring to...

... but there's no way (that I know of, short of patching the sources 
accordingly, yourself) to get that info in that location.  That's why I 
said "the /only/ way that I know of would be to show all headers."  
Otherwise, I would have put it differently, without the /only/, which 
being supplied, indicated that I knew it wasn't what you were after, but 
was the /only/ workaround I knew that would supply the requested info 
(anywhere).

Well, I'd not say 50%, but it's certainly reduced.  I too would like that 
info... but for maximum flexibility (since everybody's idea of what 
should be included is going to be different), I suggested the list of 
headers to include, (or uninclude if the appropriate checkbox was 
checked).

It /would/ be nice.

Also nice, and I've had the feature request bug in for years, since 
before the old 0.1x got scoring, would be the ability to filter (or now 
score) on headers and general message content other than headers that 
show up in the overviews.  Yes, the messages would have to be rescored 
after download in ordered for that to work, but that's still better than 
having to deal with it manually.  Unfortunately, Charles labeled the 
feature request "bluesky", which means yes, it'd be nice, maybe 
someday... after everything else gets done and I'm bored to death and 
can't figure out anything else to do...

If I could code... it'd be done by now.  Unfortunately, I can't.
