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

By defining the FieldOrder explicitly *without*
specifying "-extra-" you will get *only* the fields
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.

FieldOrder *does* control the order, but the damned Comments field is
*still* in there.  It's like Comments, In-Reply-To, and References get a
free ride, slipping past the implicit exclusion of FieldOrder and the
explicit exclusion of EXCS.  Does this sound familiar to anyone?  It should
be simple enough:

<FIELDORDER>
from
to
subject
date
</FIELDORDER>

but my messages (like the one at
http://www.pennmush.org/~server/crossword/msg02276.html) say things like:

Maybe FIELDORDER actually needs an override flag?
