"again and again" sounds like a FAQ to me.

BTW, and WRT Eudora, the Mac version shows headers by default, but suppresses those in an explicit list, available in Settings in a preference panel called "Boring Headers". There's a "Blah Blah" button on the received-message window for showing all headers including the "boring" ones.

Adopting an RFC would be good, yes. If somebody posted a pointer to a draft of the RFC, I missed it....
