} If you have "alwaysignore" set, then nothing you can do with show
} your ignored headers.

That isn't precisely correct.  You *should* be able to change the ignored
headers through the options subwindow.  However, if you have the variable
show_hdrs set, then the list of ignored headers is not used, and instead,
the headers listed in $show_hdrs are the only ones displayed.  In that
case, you have to use the variables selections from the options menu to
change the value of $show_hdrs.

} However, despite that, you may be right that
} there is no way to view a message thru the "normal" sunview interface
} that doesn't ignore ignored headers.  You can, however, define a
} function key to do this (see the man page for fkeys for details).

That isn't a very helpful solution because there isn't any man page
entry for fkeys.  The fkeys interface became officially "obsolete" as
of 7.1 and is no longer documented.  It is still supported for backwards
compatibility; the syntax for use in .mushrc is:

    fkey <key-name> <command>

The <key-name> is any of L1, L2, ..., F1, F2, ..., R1, R2, ... but of
course you should choose one that isn't already assigned to a SunView
function.  The <command> is just a command as you would type it at the
line-mode prompt, but should be limited to the various display commands
(print, type, etc.) or to commands that do not require user interaction.

The specific command to solve your problem is "Print", so something like

    fkey R9 Print

(where R9 may be a really bad choice, I don't know) is what you need.
