actually the code isn't as nasty as I thought it was... (just took a
look)

someone sending in a patch that was beautifully implemented containing 0
bugs and a sinch to maintain :-)

ie, no work will ever have to be done by me ever in the future.


I think the better solution would be to do one of the following:

1. expand "Normal Display" by 1 or 2 (max) more (hard coded) headers
that would make sense to display.

or

2. We add another view "More Headers" that contained say 3 or 4
additional headers that were hard coded.
