Re: Headers stripped out?

It would be nice if you could hit "View|Source" in the browser and see
the rest of the mail headers rather than having to trawl through
thousands of single messages looking for the missing info.

If you mean scanning raw messages, that is what grep is for.  If
you have the message-id, you can just grep for it over the raw mail
files.

As for mhonarc and headers, in the special comment declarations, the
only headers that are preserved are the ones needed for database
reconstruction.

I'm not sure what grep is, but even so, that still means you have to
keep all the raw messages which seems a little unfortunate. The few
lines of text the headers consume does not seem like a lot of overhead
(to me) for the benefits it gives.

One of the reasons I'd like to delete the raw messages is that I'm
having to use -single with -mhpattern, and it's causing a performance
hit. MHonArc has to parse lots of messages to determine which ones are
new.
