headers at head of page is a problem

My name is Al Gilman and I make trouble on the lynx-dev mailing
list where the developers and users of the Lynx WWW browser 
converse.

I am trying to understand the configurability of a MHonArc
archive.  I think I have a problem.

Please refer to 

 Linkname: Comparison of email archive format options
 URL:http://www.access.digex.net/%7Easgilman/lynx/plans/format_options.html

for what I would like to see in a message-page layout and why.

As I understand it, where the documentation describes the message
page format as

  Message page resource layout

   [36]MSGPGBEGIN

        [37]MSGHEAD

        [38]TOPLINKS

        [39]SUBJECTHEADER

        Converted message header  <<< This is generated HTML that
                        -- can't be relocated, suppressed, or redesigned

        [40]HEADBODYSEP

        Converted message body

        [41]FOLREFS

        [42]BOTLINKS

        [43]MSGFOOT

This is a major inconvenience, as I understand it, for blind users
accessing the Internet through a text-to-speech converter.

Am I correct in my interpretation of the programmability and 
non-programmability [outside of hacking the MHonArc Perl itself]
of this page layout?

Is there anyone operating an installation which leads off with
(author, title, date) [only] before the body?
