(This is VM 5.31, with vm-visible-headers > and vm-invisible-header-regexp set to their default values.) When you first read a message, VM reorders the headers, putting the visible headers at the end of the header section. It also calculates a regular expression that will find the beginning of the visible headers the next time you read the message. This is done because reordering the heraders every time you read a message is wasteful and slow. If the message headers are reordered after this, then the regular expression will be wrong and you won't see the right headers. You can use `j' to get vVM to forget the cached information about a message and its headers, and to recalculate everything. What I can't figure out is why your system reordering the headers in your messages AFTER the mail has been delivered and has been moved out of the system mail spool. If this is really what your system is doing, you're going to have other problems.
