Well, technically, I don't see it in ALL the headers either. Like I said - I do see it in your and Ronald's first messages in this thread, but it seems not to be in the headers of many replies. I wonder if that's because the replies often already have the headers buried in them from one or more of the quoted messages. At any rate, I'm not trying to start anything here. I just wanted to make an observation since in the past (not in your response) I've seen people reply rather curtly when the question is asked. I know the answer is out there and isn't too difficult to find, but it seems that perhaps the answer isn't QUITE as obvious as some people think.
