Sure...that's the way I do it now. :-)

In the beginning, I had "show all headers" enabled. However, as I'm a  
bit short sighted, I use rather big fonts. With this option turned on,  
the headers sometimes fill of the space on the preview pane, or even  
more. Especially for short messages, "show selected headers" is more  
convenient, as it might save lots of scrolling. Also, I'm only  
occasionally interested in viewing all headers. For the time being I've  
got quite good at remembering the <ctrl>-<v> shortcut, though...
