Collecting the names of all the headers in either email, sorting them and feeding them to hdr_order is as time-consuming as the shell hackery I'm doing now and it's more error-prone. Now, if hdr_order was able to intepret lack of an argument as "sort everything in alphabetical order"... Or perhaps a trailing "*" as "sort any other headers in alphabetical order"... Incidentally, hdr_order seems to be inoperative on my installation, but I'll worry about that if/when I have use for it.
