    Bad idea.  This is an error between chair and keyboard, fix it there.  I'm
very much opposed to warnings on things which are not technically required.
The only headers which are required are FROM, TO/BCC and DATE.  Since SUBJECT
is not required, don't issue a warning since the user may be intending to send
a message without a subject.

    Decent if everyone would put the standard sig delimiter.  A feature I like
in SLRN and VIM.

    Could get messy.  I never really saw a need for this, even after seeing it
in action.

    How about "show kludges" renamed to what it is, "show headers."  :)
