[Design] automatic accumulation of email headers

As a long time Eudora user, I revel in my ability to selectively 
disable the display of headers. This reduces the cruft level. 
Unfortunately, the interface for disabling individual headers is one 
that requires you to enter the header in question into a return 
separated scrolling list. There is no way to search, validate, or 
otherwise manipulate the list.

It would be a helpful thing if as an incoming email were processed, 
new headers were accumulated. These could then be categorized 
(standard, X-, List-, etc). The user would be able to disable the 
display of an entire class of header or disable them selectively. 
Additionally, this would simplify the process of creating filters.
