I'm sorry to have missed the earlier discussion, and apologize if this is
old stuff, but what is more satisfying in life than beating a dead horse,
and I really am confused on one point.

When I view a mail message in VM, I'm able to customize which headers I
see, of course, and I can toggle viewing all headers with 't'
(vm-expose-hidden-headers).  This is good.

When I view a forwarded mail message, I lose this flexibility, as nearly
as I can tell.  Here's a sample forwarded message, as viewed in my VM
INBOX buffer:

As nearly as I can tell, none of my VM header filters affect anything
after the ------ Start of forwarded message ------- line.  Am I missing
something?  

I honestly am mystified why I have to subject those I forward mail to to
my 'Status:', 'Received:', etc. header lines.  If 'sc-header-nuke-list' is
a good thing (and I believe it is), why is a similar, nay *identical*,
thing bad in VM?

If this has been hashed and rehashed previously, I apologize for
cluttering the list.
