hi,

thanks for the reply.

sorry for inconvenience, forgot to escape From_ lines.

seems that i've been somewhat unclear in stating the problem.

my problem is NOT "how to show/hide specific headers", but rather "how to retain the 
original From_ line". for instance: when the message arrives to the mail server 
(sendmail 8.10.1 and mail.local from solaris 7), the From_ line in the mailbox 
(/var/mail/ibr) looks like
< From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jun  6 10:33:24 2000

then i fetch the message using mutt's built-in pop3 support (i set pop_user, pop_host, 
and pop_delete). the From_ line becomes:
> From ibr Tue Jun  6 10:18:29 2000

the question is, can i see its original state, i.e., can i see
< From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jun  6 10:33:24 2000
(the original sender and the original send time) in mutt?

best regards,
baurjan.
