Thanks, Stephane. As an experiment in Thunderbird's about.config I set 
the following

mailnews.headers.showMessageld      user set    boolean    true
mailnews.headers.showOrganization   user set    boolean    true
mailnews.headers.showReferences     user set    boolean    true
mailnews.headers.showSender         user set    boolean    true
mailnews.headers.showUserAgent      user set    boolean    true

but after doing that I didn't see any differences in email source view. 
In fact UserAgent: was there when that setting had been 'false.'

Anyway, since I have the attention of a couple of you who may be able to 
shed some light on the workings of Sympa, I have one further question 
about email format. The most useful setting for me has been:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit [or 7bit if pure ascii]

This gives the dynamic word-wrap of a normal text window but can produce 
very long lines when viewed via the archive powered by MHonArc 2.6.19.  
Is there some way of forcing a re-wrap of the email display viewed in 
the Sympa archive?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Ed
