I don't need to configure anything, thank you very much, it's already
configured perfectly nicely as it is, thank you, toView | Headers | Normal.

I agree I can switch to View | Headers | All, but for the typical modern
newsgroup post this reveals a bug in Thunderbird, because the headers
view isn't scrollable: not only can you not see all the headers, but
none of the message is visible either!

Yup, when I need to see that crap (which is almost never) I just hit
Ctrl/U and look at the headers in the message source.
