Agreed. But it does offer a way to view all headers, aka "a work-around".

Hmm. Click the little triangle on the header bar and it only occupies 1 line.
Hardly anything to get worked up about. And I'll disagree with you on the
header belonging in the message.

Yep. And it's been broken for a LONG time. There's a bug on it,

It appears to be another one of those bugs whose target milestone seems to be

"Hate" is an awfully strong word. I tend to be dissappointed with it more than
hate it. It does have some nice features, though. Being able to change
identiies while composing a message, one-click access to threading/sorting
messages, E-mail address collection (I may be the only person who actually
LIKES that feature), I think it's current implementation of attachment handling
is pretty good, you know, when it works.
