Yes and this is why I have the header bar enabled. I even look
at it in the middle of reading messages. In Agent, I'd have to scroll
back to the beginning of the message if I wish to revise the header
info.

Steve's statement about scrolling through header info, even when
selective, to get to the message is not really an exaggeration. Some of
these chain jokes that I receive, sometimes have the To: header
information in the message and the address listing can be really large
and annoying to have to scroll through.

This is an uncommon situation and I'm quite happy on these
occasions to display the full headers. Most headers aren't as heavy in
content as a typical TB! message which makes it a lot easier.

Both Agents and TB!'s solution have their advantages and are
in-between in different respects.
