Just looking at this bit. On Thunderbird here (MacOS) selecting a 
message and hitting Cmd-U shows me the message source, with headers.  
That is likely Ctrl-U on Linux.

Anyway, if you have an index-only view with no message pane, that might 
get you the headers without "viewing" the whole thing. I would find 
eyeballing that easier than your ritual to get the message to a script.
