I'm not sure that even the previous simpler version makes it worthwhile 
to complicate the code and add yet another configuration variable. This 
seems like a very niche feature, at best a minor convenience in a 
special case, perhaps for just one person. And now a list of particular 
headers that get special treatment?

Maybe there's some other way to get the requester, Ian Allen, what he 
wants. Maybe he could write a script to summarize the multi-line 
SpamAssassin header into a one-line custom header, and unignore that 
header. Or, what happens if he makes his terminal 72 characters wide? 
Or...ideas?

Why does Mutt unfold headers? I guess so $smart_wrap can rewrap them 
nicely to any terminal width? (Is $smart_wrap implemented in the 
pager?) That rewrap seems important mostly for a terminal narrower than 
72 characters, like a phone. 72-column lines displayed on a 120-column 
terminal are still readable.

Are "ignore" and "weed" two names for the same thing (hide headers)?
