No. "Display" or "Expose" might be a function of the MUA. "Find" might be something that the user does. To hide something is to put it in a location where it's unlikely to be found.

As long as you know that people aren't looking there (and they're not), putting information in a header (other than to, from subject and date) is "hiding".
