i'm afraid you answered the wrong question.
he wanted to tell ** show ** what he wanted to see, not comp.  components files
are used for composing a message, not for showing them.

to get show to show you only the components of a header that you want, you must
use an mhl file.  the default one for your system is usually in /usr/local/lib/
mh/mhl.format .  you can probably copy it and make it do what you like.
but, for your convenience, here is what you'll likely need:
-----<cut here>-----
width=80,overflowtext=,overflowoffset=0,leftadjust,compwidth=3
ignores=msgid,message-id,return-path,received
ignores=Relay-version,Posting-version,Date-received,Distribution
ignores=Reply-to,Path,References,Xref,Really-to,Apparently-to
From:leftadjust,compwidth=6,compress,addrfield
Date:leftadjust,compress,formatfield="%(pretty{text})"
Subject:compwidth=10,compress
:
body:nocomponent,overflowtext=,overflowoffset=0,width=256,noleftadjust
---------------------
put that in a file called ~/Mail/mhl.format , and you should get what you want.

the man page for mhl tells what all this gibberish means.  it's really
powerful, and is one of the strongest reasons i use mh.
