Not my Mailman.  (That's configurable.)

but seeing the exact full headers is very useful to figuring out
the real disposition of the message, at least to me.  *all* headers,
plus *all* message text, is a useful thing (to me).  Yeah, if you
just wanted a few lines, the current display uses more space...but
that quickly turns to a false economy, IMO.
