this is probably an object lesson in bad user interface design.

windows hides all those headers that _i_ want to see.  one thing
i did do when i wrote a mail user agent was to order the 'important'
headers so they would always appear in the same order in the file
the message was kept.  if you needed the original message, you could
always pull it out of the audit trail, which had a verbatim copy
of the message.

windows also has two reply modes, when it only needs one.
