Pegasus allows this, too (I've sent a JPG of how it works a couple of days
ago...), and it's configurable (via a resource compiler;-)), too... But *I*
personally prefer the way TB works. I prefer it to be displayed in a special
place rather to be a part of the message text, where I now and then need to
scroll solely to get hold of this information...

Then, just add the functionality to the existing thing: no need to redesign it up
to the ground... Add a button or whatever to that section of the pane, where
TB puts the selected header fields, for example, that would make it possible to
work with it.

You've got regexps now;-) _Exactly_ for this, IMO

My point, also. But this doesn't imply that the way the selected headers are
displayed must be changed to the ineffective (IMHO) way the other MUAs
work.
