The day before yesterday, I happened to see one of Cambridge University's mail administrators bemoaning the way most mail clients remove headers, because it makes it harder for system administrators to diagnose mail problems. That's precisely the opposite of your complaint!

The administrator in question suggested that mail clients should attach the original message as a message/rfc822. That might be a good compromise here, since properly-implemented mail clients wouldn't need to show you all the original headers and could just show the original message the way they do any other e-mail.

I believe this was fixed a long time ago, in the way Collin suggested.
