It's the "-extra-" specification in the default

By defining the FieldOrder explicitly *without*

you list in FieldOrder.
Yep, I see that now. It's the sentence "If -extra- is not specified, then
only the fields listed will be displayed." buried in the middle of the page
that I missed. (The name of the tag threw me.) Thanks for the tip.
(Though I still wonder why EXCS isn't working for me with those particular
header fields, but I suppose it's not worth worrying about now.) I've sent
the new rcfile off, so later tonight I'll see how it worked.

Thanks. I read the FIELDORDER page a dozen times, but even now, I just
barely get the sense that it allows you to specify the fields. (It seemed
to me it just controls the order of the fields, not which fields are
present, when I first read it. And the second and third and nth time...)
I'm sending off an rcfile with no EXCS and just a FIELDORDER, to see if
I'm
doing it right.

From the MHonArc documentation at:
http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/MHonArc/doc/resources/fieldorder.html
Description
The FIELDORDER resource allows you to control the order the message
header
fields appear in the HTML output.
Each line of the <FIELDORDER> element is the exact case-insensitive name
of a message header field. The order the fields are listed is the order
they will appear in the filtered message. The special field value
"-extra-
" represents all fields not explicitly specified in the <FIELDORDER>
element and not excluded by the EXCS resource. Extra fields are listed
in
sorted order.
If -extra- is not specified, then only the fields listed will be
displayed.
NOTE
EXCS takes precedence over the FIELDORDER resource. Therefore, any field
matched by EXCS will always be excluded regardless if the field is
listed
in FIELDORDER.
Default Setting
<FieldOrder>
to
subject
from
date
-extra-
</FieldOrder>
