I have had a look in settings of Gmail, my "mua", and cannot find an obvious (any!) place where headers could be set (and haven't the knowledge, anyhow). so, I won't try and start any more threads for now (for which sorry) and hope that someone can/will supply Gmail specific instructions "how to"; to that end please write an email with 'mail headers' in the subject, thank you.
