Even though he put a ":-)" on it, I think this is the "right" solution.
The user's mail reader should be smart enough to filter the headings in
a forwarded message in the same way it filters the headers in any other
message (in vm's case it should just use the same algorithm, "t" should
toggle between full and filtered headers, etc.).  Or there could be
different selection criteria for the normal and forwarded headers if you
wanted to get really fancy.  Anyway, this preserves all the useful
information, but you only have to look at it if you want to.  (I agree
with Kyle that the vm specific headers should be removed from forwarded
mail before it is forwarded since they are purely user mail reader local
constructs.)
