Hello, Gary --

I guess I have "NO idea" of what you are really talking about doing!  I 
have that setting (view, etc.) selected and ALL of my messages show up 
with (would you guess it?) "Fancy Headers"!  Even when I look at old 
("archived" in folders) messages, they will have the headers that I have 
most-recently specified.  That is precisely what I would expect to be 
meant by "setting it to default".

You must have something else in mind, but I cannot guess what!  If you 
mean that you want to impose your preferences upon the people and groups 
with whom you correspond -- YOUR style of headers on the messages THEY 
receive from you -- that simply is not an option.  They (properly) have 
the right to decide, within the limits of their respective mail-client's 
capacities, how they want THEIR headers to appear.
