Yeah, I felt the same way at first, but then I realized it kind of 
flowed with the $weed setting (see below).

$weed enables the message display settings listed in 
<http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#msg-hdr-display>:
   - header unfolding (and then refolding to $wrap columns).
   - ignore/unignore for filter headers.
   - hdr_order for ordering the headers.
   - and now a possible third option: hdr_leave_folded to list headers to
     remain "as is" in the source email without unfolding.

I was waiting for feedback from the requester and to review the patch a 
bit more, but I'll send it out shortly to the list for early review.
